Parallel linear earthwork banks, up to 3.5 metres wide, are visible on north-facing slopes south-east of Horsecombe Farm on aerial photographs taken in 1946. They are located within two plots recorded as orchard on the Tithe map, and symbolised with orchard trees on the late-19th century mapping. They are interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century planting ridges for orchard trees. They are not clearly visible on later available imagery and the earthworks may have been levelled.
