Linear earthwork banks, circa 2.5m wide, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They are possible tree planting banks of a 19th century orchard. An orchard shown in this location on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map supports this interpretation.
