Linear earthwork banks are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, at Combefishacre Farm, Ipplepen. The earthworks comprise a series of narrowly spaced and parallel northwest to southeast aligned banks, with two separate L-shaped banks to their southeast. The earthworks are located within land parcel 1383 on the Parish Tithe Map which is recorded as ‘Back Orchard’ on the accompanying Tithe Apportionment. They do not correspond with any linear features on this map, or on later available historic maps. The earthworks to the northwest are interpreted as possible tree planting banks of an orchard, which remains planted with fruit trees in 2015-2017, with those earthworks to the southeast interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of a rectilinear shaped land parcel which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
