Abstract: Cross dykes on the South Downs between the ridge overlooking Folkington and Eastbourne and the River Cuckmere have been subjected to non-invasive study and the number of probable and possible examples increased. The distribution is heavily skewed towards the eastern ridge and there appears to have been a concern for visibility from the low lying Levels and the Channel. Relatively few have been found on the northern ridge. A role in guiding travellers, particularly coastal or cross-Channel is suggested but relationships with settlements and field systems are also discussed.
