The remains of Parallel linear earthwork banks, circa 4 metres wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data as earthworks banks to the south-west of Upcott Barton.
Their alignment is roughly cross-contour and they are interpreted as fruit tree planting banks of probable post-medieval to 19th century date that were probably made to enhance drainage within an orchard. The banks fall within the area of a large orchard depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25 inch first edition map that remained planted, albeit sparsely, in 1946. The transcription of the surviving earthwork banks is based on images derived from lidar data but the monument record polygon encompasses the whole area of the former orchard.
