Cross Ridge Dyke on Morgan's Hill is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date located in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch arrangement that would have functioned as a territorial or defensive boundary across the hillside. Such ridge dykes are characteristic of later prehistoric land division and settlement organisation in southern England, typically constructed to control movement and demarcate areas of significance during the Iron Age period. The earthwork remains visible as an upstanding feature in the modern landscape, testament to the engineering capability of Iron Age communities in the region.
