Cross dyke on the north eastern spur of Bow Hill is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in Sussex, England. The monument consists of a bank and ditch system characteristic of defensive or territorial boundaries constructed during the prehistoric period. Situated 150 metres south east of the Tansley Stone, it forms part of a wider pattern of Iron Age settlement and land division in the region. The dyke's precise function remains a subject of archaeological interpretation, though such features typically served either defensive purposes or to demarcate land holdings within Iron Age communities.
