An area of earthwork orchard banks was visible to the north-west of Poundapit Farm on aerial photographs of 1967. The banks, probably made to facilitate drainage, fell within the area of a former orchard potentially of post medieval date depicted on the first Edition Ordnance Survey map of the late 19th century and remained planted into the 1940s. The orchard plot has been impacted by the construction of the M5 and widening of the B3181 and the earthwork banks have probably been levelled.
