Abstract:
This article discusses the identification and distribution of cross dykes between the River Adur and the River Cuckmere and notes the relative absence of these monuments away from the periphery of the chalk downland and the southern areas directly overlooking the coast. A number of possible reasons for their construction, identified primarily from their positions within the landscape, is also discussed. Some of these are more likely than others and, while it is recognised that their purposes may have both varied and changed over time, the guiding of the movement of stock rather than people, and the identification of ‘permitted’ routes, appear to be prime candidates.
