Underditch hundred was granted to Salisbury as part of the original Honour of Sarum Upon the Rock. It has traditionally been held by the Bishop of Salisbury but under Uther's time there was no such position. Roderick re-instituted the Bishopry during his last years, and has followed the tradition to lease most of the land in Underditch to the church.

Underditch is believed to take its name from a ditch, which, in Hoare's time, ran eastwards uphill from the Avon to the Salisbury-Amesbury road. It's now a days called "Windryder's Dyke" and is the location for the hundred courts.
