A bank is visible as a linear earthwork on the west-facing slopes north of Combe Holdridge, Combe, Ideford. The visible earthwork is circa 7m wide and abuts the extant field boundary along the road west of the farm and can be seen crossing the contours of the slope from west to east for up to 37m. A hollow is visible on the north side of the bank, narrowing from circa 12m wide at the field boundary.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey, and therefore probably passed out of use prior to circa 1840. They are interpreted as the remains of a possible field boundary or access track of medieval to 19th-century date
