Summary

Parallel linear earthwork banks, visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014, are tentatively interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century banks for fruit tree cultivation that fell out of use by the early-20th century.

Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2016-2018, The Blackdown Hills AONB and East Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV359463.

Parallel linear earthwork banks, approximately 4 metres in width, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They are aligned slightly cross-contour and partly correspond to an area depicted as orchard on the late-19th (but not early-20th) century mapping. They are interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century banks for fruit tree cultivation that fell out of use by the early-20th century.
