Subtle earthwork banks are identifiable on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 on the south-facing slopes south of Auton Court.
The banks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for West Alvington, the plot in which they are located being listed as Plot 737 Lower Orchard.
The relict banks are similar in appearance on the lidar derived images to a boundary immediately to the north, and are interpreted as the remains of infield boundaries of possible medieval to post-medieval origin that were removed by the early 19th century for the creation of Lower orchard
