Orchard tree planting banks of probable post medieval to 19th century date were visible as earthwork banks to the south of Lower Weaver Farm on aerial photographs of 1967 and images derived from lidar captured from 2005 to 2010. The banks fall within a larger area depicted as orchard on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25inch map and some orchard tree planting survives into the 1960s. All trees had been cleared by 2010. The southernmost area of banks was visible surviving as earthworks over an area of approximately 0.4 hectares on images derived from lidar captured from 2005 to 2010, but the northernmost area had been levelled as part of farm developments.
