Chichester Dyke is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date situated in West Sussex near Broyle House. This section of the dyke extends approximately 330 metres to the southwest of Broyle House and forms part of a more extensive defensive system associated with the Iron Age settlement at Chichester. The work comprises a substantial bank and ditch formation typical of late prehistoric fortifications in southern Britain. The dyke's precise function remains subject to scholarly interpretation, though it likely served to demarcate territory, control movement, or defend the adjacent settlement during the pre-Roman Iron Age period.
