Hi,
Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum.
The IP address you mention looks to be an ipv6 address. The fe80 prefix indicates that the device the traffic originated from is on your local network.
The nslookup command may help you determine which device has this IP address, however, if you have a network firewall or router, this can also be used to find out what device has this IP address assigned.
