Overview

History & significance

Dispersed medieval settlement remains at Frog Firle, 290m south east of Tile Barn is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the archaeological traces of a medieval rural settlement in East Sussex. The site consists of scattered earthworks and surface finds indicating occupation and habitation during the medieval period, representative of the dispersed settlement patterns characteristic of the Sussex Weald during this era. Such dispersed settlements reflect the gradual clearance and colonisation of woodland areas in the medieval period, with individual farmsteads and small hamlets distributed across the landscape rather than concentrated in nucleated villages. The monument's survival as earthworks provides evidence of medieval land use, agricultural activity, and the social organisation of rural communities in this region.
