Cross dyke on Pashley Hill is a linear earthwork situated in the High Weald of Sussex. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch that runs across the hillside, typical of dyke constructions attributed to the Iron Age period. Such earthworks commonly served defensive or territorial functions, marking boundaries or controlling movement across the landscape. The physical remains visible today reflect the considerable effort invested in its construction and maintenance during prehistoric times.
