The remains of parallel ridges were visible as low earthwork banks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. The plot in which the banks were visible has now been significantly developed but was depicted as an orchard on the Ordnance Survey 25 inch First Edition map and was listed as Plot 511, Home Orchard on the Tithe map and apportionments for Payhembury.
The visible 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.
The plot was lightly planted on aerial photographs of 1946 supporting the interpretation that the orchard had probably passed out of use in the second half of the 20th century.
