Cross dyke on Ragpit Hill is a linear earthwork of probable Iron Age date located in Buckinghamshire near Great Kimble. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch alignment running across high ground, representing a defensive or territorial boundary feature characteristic of prehistoric settlement patterns in the Chiltern region. Such dykes typically functioned to control movement across the landscape, either marking the limits of established communities or serving strategic military purposes during the later prehistoric period. The earthwork remains a significant archaeological indicator of Iron Age land use and social organisation in the area.
