Parallel linear earthwork banks, approximately 3.5 metres wide, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2013 and 2016. They are orientated roughly cross-contour and correspond to a plot of land depicted as orchard on the late-19th century maps. They are interpreted as tree planting banks for the fruit trees of a post-medieval or 19th century orchard.
