A series of closely parallel north-east to south-west orientated linear banks circa 6m apart are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks are situated in the southern part of a plot recorded as an orchard and depicted as an orchard until the late 20th century. The banks are interpreted as planting ridges for orchard trees of post-medieval to 19th century origin, that passed out of use in the late 20th century.
