A series of parallel east to west orientated linear banks circa 6m wide are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks correspond with a plot recorded as 'Great Husk Orchard' on the Tithe Map, and depicted as an orchard on the First and Second Edition OS map. The banks are visible on aerial photographs dating to 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. They have a slightly abnormal appearance compared to other orchard banks however, and may alternatively be formed by drainage works.
