A linear earthwork bank, circa 9 m in width, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the east of Combefishacre Cross, Ipplepen. The northeast to southwest aligned earthwork closely respects the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the 1842 Ipplepen Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthwork does not, however, correspond with any linear features on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps which supports the interpretation that it represents a relict medieval field boundary of a strip field which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
