Grim's Ditch, Berkshire

Grim's Ditch is an ancient earthwork crossing the chalk downlands to the south of Blewbury, Chilton, East Ginge and East Lockinge in Berkshire. The earthwork consists of a ditch and low upstanding rampart. It is thought to date from the late Iron Age and may have been a possible demarcation boundary. One section crosses across the Chilton Downs. This section forms the boundary of the council areas of West Berkshire and Vale of White Horse (Oxfordshire).
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1006985.
