Middle Brow earthwork is a prehistoric monument located in Sussex, England. The site comprises an earthwork of uncertain chronology, though it falls within the broader category of Iron Age or earlier defensive structures documented across the South Downs region. The monument's physical remains consist of linear earthen banks and ditches characteristic of settlement or territorial demarcation typical of the prehistoric period. Like many similar monuments in Sussex, Middle Brow reflects patterns of land use and social organisation during the later prehistoric era, though detailed archaeological investigation and precise dating remain limited in the published record.
