Bridleway along ancient earthwork A bank and ditch extends for some considerable distance. Most of it, together with some nearby earthworks, are in an area scheduled as an Ancient Monument. This seems to be because they look likely to be of archaeological interest, although their origin and purpose remain obscure. Surmises range from Romano-British to mediaeval times.

Madehurst - Arundel parish boundary The boundary here follows an ancient earthwork, and is further marked with a string of cast-iron plates. These have 'N' on the Arundel side, and 'F' on the Madehurst side. 'N' must be for Norfolk, the Duke of Norfolk has owned most of Arundel for centuries. 'F' probably stands for Fletcher, a Fletcher bought the Madehurst manor in the 1850s. No earlier landowner was an 'F'.
