Several closely parallel approximately east to west orientated linear banks circa 6m apart are visible as subtle earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks are situated in a plot recorded as 'Yonder Orchard' on the Tithe Map, and depicted as an orchard with a cleared area within it on the First and Second Edition OS maps. The banks are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs dating from the 1940s. 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.
