A series of parallel linear earthwork banks are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016 southeast of Wiscombe Park. The banks are situated within a plot recorded as Wiscombe Wood on the Tithe Map, and later depicted as having spodadic tree cover. Orchard banks on similar topography are recorded to the east (MDV131268). The banks are interpreted as possible post-medieval to early 19th century planting ridges for orchard trees, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840. Alternatively they could be 19th century narrow ridge and furrow.
