Cross dyke 600m north of Pitcombe Farm is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in Dorset. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch formation that served a defensive or territorial function during the later prehistoric period. Its precise positioning relative to contemporary settlement patterns and other fortified sites suggests it formed part of a wider landscape management strategy characteristic of Iron Age communities in southern Britain. The earthwork remains visible in the modern topography, preserving evidence of prehistoric land organisation and social organisation in the region.
