Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to 19th century date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1948 at Newton Barton. An orchard is depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s, although by 1948, aerial photographs show that the orchard trees have been partly grubbed up, leaving a series of parallel northeast to southwest aligned earthwork banks, on which the fruit trees were established, visible. These banks occupy an area of approximately 0.25 hectares of gentle northeast facing slope, within a single irregular shaped plot depicted on the First Edition OS map. The site of the orchard has been completely cleared of trees and the earthwork banks completely levelled on aerial photographs of 1989.
