A series of closely parallel approximately north to south orientated earthwork banks are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks correspond with an orchard depicted on historic maps and visible on aerial photographs dating to the 1940's. The banks are interpreted as planting ridges for orchard trees of post-medieval to 19th century origin, that passed out of use by the mid-20th century.
