Earthwork hollows were visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and aerial photographs on the north-east edge of Lower Tale village, Payhembury parish. The earthworks are probably evidence of a former house and homestead, possibly of post-medieval origin, depicted in this location on the Tithe Map for Payhembury, listed under Plot 737 as associated with Daniel Gould, under leasehold to Sir John Kennaway, landowner. The dwellings and homestead plots are not depicted on the OS First Edition 25 inch, shown instead as orchards. The dwelling was therefore probably cleared and absorbed into the adjacent orchard plots between circa 1840 and 1880.
