The South Downs Way (aka. South Downs National Trail) runs through the centre of these Cross Dyke earthworks on the Cocking to Bignor Hill section in West Sussex. The four cross-dykes are thought to be late Bronze Age in date.

They are recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 249413 and scheduled as Historic England List ID 1017614:

A series of four LBA cross-ridge dykes cross the crest of the South Downs from N to S, commencing at the head of precipitous slopes leading into Coombe Bottom below the N-facing escarpment, and leading towards or, in the case of the westernmost dyke, fading out upon, the gentle S-facing dip slope.
