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 Fore Down and Knob Down south of East Ginge. This section is within the council area of Vale of White Horse (Oxfordshire).
