Cross Dyke 720m west of Cheesefoot Head is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date situated in Hampshire. The monument consists of a substantial ditch with accompanying bank, characteristic of defensive or territorial boundaries constructed during the pre-Roman Iron Age. Its precise function remains subject to archaeological interpretation, though such dykes typically served either as defensive fortifications or as demarcation lines for administrative and territorial control. The site's location in the chalk downland landscape of Hampshire reflects the strategic importance of this region during Iron Age settlement and land organisation.
