Full description
Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.
An orchard with 'humps and bumps' was interpreted by R Robinson in Feb 1994 as not just tree ridges but possibly a deserted settlement site.[1]
Re-interpreted in July 1999 on a further site visit, by Veronica Fiorato, as earthworks which do appear to be orchard ridges (or banks on which the trees are planted to aid irrigation). [2]
