Sims, R., Knight, S. & Houghton, E., 2020-2021, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.

Parallel linear earthwork banks are visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s and on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They are orientated cross-contour and are interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century planting banks for orchard trees. No orchard is recorded in this location on the Tithe apportionment or depicted on the available 19th century mapping, indicating that any orchard in this location may have passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
