Earthwork banks of probable post-medieval to 19th century date are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the north of Lower Luxton, Upottery. The earthworks, which are northwest to southeast aligned and occupy an area of approximately 0.55 hectares of gentle northwest facing slope, may represent the remains of agricultural improvement or represent the site of a former orchard, the banks providing improved drainage and increased soil depth for the fruit trees. The earthwork banks are not visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey.
