The possible remains of parallel ridges spaced circa 4 to 5 metres apart were visible as low earthwork banks in a plot to the east of Middle Woodbeer Farm, Plymtree parish, on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014.
The visible banks cover a small area of less than 0.1 ha, falling within a plot listed on the Tithe Apportionments for Plymtree as an Higher Orchard. The plot remained depicted as an orchard on the OS First Edition map but was cleared of trees in the first half of the 20th century.
