Medieval earthworks E and SE of St Mary's Church is a scheduled ancient monument comprising substantial defensive earthworks located to the east and south-east of St Mary's Church in Sussex. The earthworks consist of banks and ditches that form part of medieval fortification or settlement defences, likely dating to the medieval period, though the precise dating and functional purpose require assessment of archaeological evidence. The monument's proximity to the parish church suggests it may have formed part of a manorial or village defensive system typical of medieval settlement hierarchies in Sussex. The earthworks remain as significant landscape features that contribute to understanding the medieval topography and settlement patterns of the locality.
