Parallel linear earthwork banks, approximately 3.5 metres wide, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2007 and 2013. No features are depicted in this location on the available historic maps, although the plot of land is recorded as orchard in the Tithe apportionment. The earthworks are interpreted as tree planting banks for an orchard that fell out of use by the mid-19th century.
