Cross dyke on the south eastern spur of Bow Hill is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in Sussex, England. The monument comprises a ditch and bank construction typical of defensive works from the later prehistoric period, positioned strategically on high ground south west of the Tansley Stone. Such dykes served purposes ranging from territorial demarcation to the control of movement across the landscape during the Iron Age. The site remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric land use and settlement patterns in the Sussex Weald region.
