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 Several Down to the south of Chilton. This section is within the council area of West Berkshire.
