Cross dyke on the south eastern spur of Bow Hill is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in Sussex, England. The monument consists of a ditch with an associated bank, characteristic of defensive or territorial boundary structures constructed during the later prehistoric period. Its position on the spur of Bow Hill, approximately 900 metres south west of the Tansley Stone, suggests a strategic location relating to control of the local landscape. Such dykes commonly served purposes of demarcation, defence, or stock control in Iron Age settlement patterns, though the precise function of this particular example remains typical of similar undated linear monuments in the region.
