Cross dyke 230m south west of Cherhill Monument is a linear earthwork of prehistoric date located on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The monument consists of a ditch with an associated bank, typical of dyke systems constructed during the Iron Age or earlier periods to demarcate territorial boundaries or control movement across the landscape. Its proximity to Cherhill Monument, a Neolithic long barrow, suggests the dyke may relate to later use or reorganisation of this significant ritual landscape. The earthwork survives as an archaeological feature of regional importance for understanding prehistoric land division and settlement patterns in the Wessex chalklands.
