A series of closely parallel linear banks are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks correspond with a plot recorded as a 'Young Orchard' on the Tithe Map. The orchard is depicted on the First and Second Edition OS maps, but not depicted on maps thereafter. 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.
