A series of parallel earthwork banks are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016 west of Sidbury Manor. The banks are situated on a southeast facing slope in a plot depicted as an orchard on the First Edition OS map, which fell out of use in the early-mid 20th century. The banks are interpreted as planting ridges for orchard trees of 19th century origin, that passed out of use in the early to mid 20th century.
