A series of closely parallel north-east to south-west orientated linear banks circa 5m apart are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks correspond with a plot recorded as an orchard in the Tithe Survey and depicted as an orchard on historic maps until the mid-20th century. 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.
