Grim's Ditch is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date running through north Oxfordshire. This 380-metre section located approximately 200 metres east-north-east of Kiddington Lodge survives as a substantial ditch with an associated bank, representing part of a much longer defensive or territorial boundary system that extends across several kilometres of the landscape. The monument is characteristic of Late Iron Age linear earthworks, which scholars interpret as having served either defensive purposes or as demarcation lines for territorial control and livestock management. The site remains visible as an upstanding archaeological feature of considerable local importance to understanding Iron Age land use and settlement patterns in the region.
