A roughly triangular platform is visible on digital images derived from lidar data acquired between 1998 and 2014 as an earthwork projecting from the hillslope below a track to the north-east of Ford House. Measuring approximately 73 by 31 metres in size, the visible earthwork corresponds closely with the extent of plot 837 on the Tithe Map for Membury, listed as a house and garden on the apportionments. The house is extant and the plot hedged on aerial photographs of 1947. The house and field boundary have been removed but the earthwork platform remains visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2014.
