The remains of ridges or narrow banks were visible as low parallel earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1947 on the south-west facing slopes at Collyhayes Farm, Awliscombe parish. No trees were visible in the field by this date. The banks could not be seen as earthworks on aerial photographs of 1982 and were probably levelled during expansion of the farm buildings.
The plot in which the banks were visible was depicted as an orchard on the Ordnance Survey 25 inch First Edition map. The earthworks can therefore be interpreted the remains of tree planting banks made for fruit tree planting and improved drainage dating probably from the post-medieval period to the mid-19th century, but which had passed out of use by 1947.
