Curvilinear earthwork ditches, circa 6m wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013, at Combe, Bickington. The northwest to southeast aligned earthworks are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although they do not correspond with any curvilinear features on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps. They are therefore interpreted as relict medieval field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
