Cross Dyke on Beachy Brow is a prehistoric linear earthwork located near Eastbourne in East Sussex. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch system that runs across the downland landscape, forming a defensive or territorial boundary of Iron Age date. Such dykes were characteristic features of the Iron Age chalk downlands of southern England, serving variously as stock enclosures, territorial markers, or defensive works. The earthwork survives as a visible landscape feature and is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument of archaeological importance.
