Cross dyke and bowl barrow 310m south east of Wolstonbury Camp is a scheduled ancient monument comprising two distinct defensive and funerary structures situated on the South Downs near Henfield in West Sussex. The bowl barrow represents a Bronze Age burial monument, a common funerary form dating to the second millennium BCE, whilst the cross dyke is an Iron Age linear earthwork that exemplifies the defensive systems constructed during the later prehistoric period. The cross dyke consists of a ditch with an associated bank that traverses the hillside, a characteristic defensive feature of Iron Age settlement and territorial organization on the South Downs. Together these monuments illustrate successive phases of prehistoric activity in this strategically significant downland location.
