Earthworks and lynchets on Buckland Bank and Buckland Hole is a complex of agricultural terraces and field boundaries located in Sussex. The lynchets, which are stepped terraces created through prolonged ploughing on sloping ground, represent medieval or post-medieval field management practices and indicate intensive agricultural use of the landscape. The earthworks survive as distinctive ridged and furrowed features across the hillside, preserving evidence of historical land division and cultivation methods. This monument provides important archaeological testimony to the development of the agricultural landscape and land tenure patterns in the Sussex Weald during the medieval and early modern periods.
