A series of closely parallel east to west orientated linear banks are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The banks are circa 4-5m apart and correspond with two plots of orchard recorded on historic maps, and visible as an orchard on aerial photographs dating to the 1940s. The banks are interpreted as planting ridges for orchard trees of post-medieval to 19th century origin, that passed out of use in the mid 20th century.
