Cross Dyke on Barpham Hill is an ancient linear earthwork located in Sussex, England. The monument consists of a ditch with an accompanying bank, characteristic of defensive or territorial boundaries constructed during the Iron Age or Romano-British period. The dyke runs across the hilltop landscape in the vicinity of Lower Barpham and represents the type of linear fortification commonly employed in southern England during prehistory to control movement across the downs or to demarcate land holdings. Such works reflect the administrative or military concerns of communities occupying the Sussex landscape during the first millennium BCE and its aftermath.
