Cross dyke on St Roche's Hill is an ancient linear earthwork located on the downland north east of The Trundle hillfort near Goodwood in West Sussex. The monument consists of a substantial ditch with an associated bank, running across the hilltop in a broadly north-south alignment. Dating to the Iron Age, the dyke represents a defensive or boundary work typical of the later prehistoric period, though its precise relationship to the nearby Trundle hillfort remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The earthwork survives as a prominent landscape feature and forms part of the wider complex of Iron Age monuments in this significant archaeological area of the South Downs.
