The associated marking usually comprised three tents with a total of an average of 800 acres of land, which were sufficient to feed around 100 to 200 people. These settlements were mostly abandoned by the 14th century, five of them were dissolved in Ilsfeld, where a manor was located.

A warehouse book from 1684, which is no longer available today, contained references to a closed knightly estate with an area of ​​around 100 acres, which came into the possession of the community of Ilsfeld in 1498 from the knight Hans Notthphia . In that inventory book, a spot located there is also called Seetham . The place name means sea ​​dam , and the field names Seegraben and Seeweg also refer to a former lake . The Seethams mark merged into the Ilsfeld mark and was later cut from west to east by the Württemberg Landgraben .
