A pair of Medieval or Post Medieval field boundaries are visible as low earthworks in a field north-east of Middle Kipscombe, Bratton Fleming. Part of the boundaries are depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1889, suggesting they had only recently been abandoned and were therefore in use in the Post Medieval period; however, the curvilinear form of the boundaries suggest a Medieval or early Post Medieval date. Other details: Monument Number 1489057.
