Sims, R., Knight, S. & Houghton, E., 2020-2021, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.
A series of subtle banks are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks are bisected by a series of subtle ditches interpreted as of later agricultural origin. They are situated in a plot recorded as 'Young Orchard' on the Tithe Map and depicted as an orchard on historic and modern maps until the mid-20th century. The banks are interpreted as planting ridges for orchard trees of probable early 19th century origin, that passed out of use prior to the mid-20th century.
