Summary

A series of closely parallel approximately east to west orientated linear banks circa 4m apart are visible as subtle 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 subsequent maps until the mid-20th century. They are interpreted as planting ridges for orchard trees of post-medieval to 19th century origin, that passed out use in the mid-20th century.
