Prehistoric linear boundary on Wepham Down is a ancient boundary feature located in Sussex, England. The monument consists of a linear earthwork, typical of prehistoric field systems and territorial divisions, which dates to the Bronze Age or Iron Age period.

The feature survives as an earthwork and represents an important record of prehistoric land use and social organisation in the South Downs region.
