Extensive ridge and furrow and associated earthworks are clearly visible in the fields north of Wickens House, Charing. There are also earthworks which appear to derive from streams running north south through Kitchen Meadow and a raised platform which may represent the upcast from the construction of the pond immediately west of the house. The earthworks clearly predate the Upper Orchard which was present in c.1780 and may be contemporary with the rebuilding of Wickens House in c.1590.
