Name: | Orchards at Whitehall Farm, Luppitt Parish |

Summary
The remains of probable post-medieval to 19th century ridges made for fruit tree planting and improved orchard drainage were visible as low, parallel earthwork banks on aerial photographs of the 1940s, 1980s, and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, across two adjacent plots on the south-east-facing slopes at Whitehall Farm, Luppitt Parish.

The remains of probable post-medieval to 19th century ridges made for fruit tree planting and improved orchard drainage were visible as low, parallel earthwork banks on aerial photographs of the 1940s and 1980s, across two adjacent plots on the south-east-facing slopes at Whitehall Farm, Luppitt Parish.
The banks were aligned cross contour and spaced between 5 and 6 metres apart. The earthworks correspond with plots depicted as orchards on the Tithe map for Luppit, and therefore predate circa 1840. The plots were only lightly planted with trees by 1947, with the banks clearly visible below. The orchards were completely cleared of trees by 1982, and the banks remain visible as slight earthworks on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010, by which point the eastern plot appears to have been replanted with trees in a traditional manner. The banks remain clearly visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.
