Full description
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The plot is depicted as an orchard.
Royal Air Force, 1947, RAF/CPE/UK/1974, RAF/CPE/UK/1974 FP 1447-1448 11-APR-1947 (Aerial Photograph). SDV356127.
The plot rwas very sparsely planted. The banks were visible as earthworks through light tree cover.
Ordnance Survey, 1989, OS/89038, OS/89038 V 228-229 07-MAR-1989 (Aerial Photograph). SDV359507.
Narrow ridges were visible as low parallel earthwork banks.
Environment Agency, 1998-2014, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution), LIDAR ST1200 Environment Agency DTM 01-JAN-1998 to 30-SEP-2014 (Cartographic). SDV359177.
The banks were not visible as earthworks and have probably been levelled.

Narrow ridges were visible as low parallel earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1947 and 1989. The visible earthwork banks were spaced circa 5 metres apart and crossed the contours of the slope.
They fell within an orchard plot depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map. The plot was very lightly planted with trees in 1947. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as the remains of banks made for fruit tree planting and improved orchard drainage, dating possibly from the post-medieval period or the 19th century.
All trees have been cleared from the plot and the banks are not visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and have probably been levelled.
