Cross dyke on Beeding Hill is a linear earthwork of probable Iron Age date, located in the South Downs landscape of West Sussex. The monument comprises a substantial bank and ditch alignment running across the hillside, typical of territorial or defensive boundaries constructed during the prehistoric period. Such dykes are characteristic features of the downland landscape and likely served to demarcate land divisions or control movement across the ridge. The site remains an important record of Iron Age land use and settlement patterns in the Sussex Weald margin.
