| Name: | Orchard banks east of Wiscombe Park, Southleigh |

Summary
A series of subtle parallel linear banks are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016 and are interpreted as possible post-medieval to early 19th century orchard tree planting ridges that passed out of use prior to circa 1840. Alternatively they could be 19th century narrow ridge and furrow.

A series of subtle parallel linear banks are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The plot is recorded as 'Sand Pit Moor' on the Tithe Map and depicted as having sporadic trees in the First Edition OS. An orchard is recorded immediately to the west - 'Sand Pit Orchard'. The banks are interpreted as possible post-medieval to early 19th century tree planting ridges of an orchard that passed out of use prior to circa 1840. Alternatively they could be 19th century narrow ridge and furrow.
