A series of closely parallel earthwork banks are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016 north of Lovehayne Farm. The banks are situated in the northwestern part of an elongated plot recorded as Long Orchard on the Tithe Map and depicted as an orchard on subsequent maps until the mid to late-20th century.
The banks are interpreted as planting ridges for orchard trees of post-medieval to 19th century origin, that passed out of use in the 20th century.
