Earthworks associated with the medieval manor house of Kingskerswell are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 2009 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks are located within an orchard on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map of the late 19th century, where several buildings associated with the former manor house are shown. The earthworks comprise two irregular shaped cuttings, up to 60m long, which occupy the location of, and so clearly predate construction of, the manor house (MDV8709), as well as the cider house (MDV44480) to the east and a barn (MDV21445) to the north. They are interpreted as evidence of landscaping for construction of these buildings. Linear and oval banks of possible associated field boundaries are also visible to the west.
