Earthworks and lynchets near Eastwick Barn, Patcham, is a monument comprising agricultural terracing and associated field boundaries situated in the South Downs landscape of Sussex. The lynchets represent the accumulated soil deposited by medieval and possibly earlier ploughing practices, forming distinctive linear banks across the hillside that reflect long-term arable cultivation of the land. The earthworks evidence sustained agricultural use of this downland terrain during the medieval period and potentially extending into the post-medieval era. These features survive as significant archaeological evidence of the farming systems and land management practices that shaped the Sussex countryside over several centuries.
