Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1966 onwards, to the north of Rill Farm. Orchards are depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s. The site of the orchard remains covered with trees on aerial photographs up until 1963, although by 1966 these have been completely cleared, exposing a series of parallel northeast to southwest aligned earthwork banks, on which the fruit trees were established. The banks occupy an area of approximately 0.55 hectares of gentle northwest facing slope, within a single plot adjacent to the farm. The orchard banks remain visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010.
