Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1946 and 1947, to the southeast of Bridge Pitt Farm. The site of the orchard is recorded as Little Orchard on the Woodbury parish tithe apportionment of approximately 1838-48, although by 1946, aerial photographs show that the orchard trees have been completely grubbed out, leaving a series of parallel east to west aligned earthwork banks, on which the fruit trees were established, visible. These banks occupy an area of approximately 0.10 hectares of northwest facing slope. The earthworks are visible on aerial photographs of 1947, although are no longer visible after this date and appear to have been completely levelled.
