This cross-ridge dyke and part of an adjoining cross-ridge dyke meeting at Juggs Road near Falmer Bottom is a defensive earthwork of Iron Age date. The monument comprises parallel banks and ditches that cut across the ridge of the South Downs, functioning as a territorial boundary or defensive barrier typical of the prehistoric period. Cross-ridge dykes of this type are characteristic features of the Iron Age landscape in Sussex, blocking natural routes of passage along the chalk downland. The surviving sections at this location preserve evidence of the construction technique and spatial planning employed in Iron Age land division and defence.
