Parallel linear earthwork banks, circa 3.5 metres in width, are visible in four plots of land on aerial photographs taken between 1948 and 1976. The area is depicted as orchard on the 19th century mapping, and the broadly cross-contour orientation is indicative of tree planting banks. Three of the plots had been developed for housing by 1976, and the fourth has also now been developed.
