Linear banks were visible as earthworks through light tree cover.

Linear banks were visible as earthworks.

The remains of parallel ridges 7 metres apart were visible as low earthwork banks over an area of circa 0.4 ha on aerial photographs of 1989 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 to the north of Old Bridge Farm, Cullompton parish.
The visible banks fell within a larger plot partly depicted as an orchard on the Ordnance Survey 25 inch First Edition map of circa 1880-90 and the Second Edition map of circa 1904-1906. The plot remained moderately planted on aerial photographs of the 1940s and lightly planted into the 1980s.
The visible earthworks are therefore interpreted as the remains of banks made for fruit tree planting and improved drainage on an orchard dating possibly from the post-medieval period or the 19th century, that remained in use into the second half of the 20th century.
