Two adjacent rectilinear terraces, both circa 32 metres long by 20 metres wide, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2019, within the grounds of Warleigh Barton which lies to the immediate north-west.
The earthworks are situated within land parcels 637 and 674 on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which are recorded as ‘Garden’ and as ‘New Orchard’ on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. On the late-19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, the land parcel of New Orchard (674) had been removed and the Garden area (637) enlarged. Two intersecting paths that closely respect the earthworks are shown crossing the garden on this map. By the early-20th century, two enclosed rectilinear areas are shown in this location. These areas are both shown as garden on aerial imagery taken from the 1940’s onwards.
The earthworks are therefore interpreted as late-19th century or early-20th century terraces that form part of the gardens of Warleigh Barton (MDV112316).
