In the north of Ursel, near the Keigatbossen, there is a so-called field cross. The cross is surrounded by lime trees. The field cross at this location is said to date back to the middle of the 13th century. At that time, Bishop Walter de Marvis demarcated the parish boundaries in this region. Today, the area around the field cross is a pleasant resting place in the Drongengoed Landscape Park; in the past, it was a rest and landmark for travellers.
