Buckinghamshire Grim's Ditch is a linear earthwork monument consisting of a 350-metre section of bank and ditch extending north-east from Cottage Farm in Buckinghamshire. The monument belongs to a wider system of Grim's Ditches found across the region, which represent ancient linear boundaries or territorial divisions. Such features are typically attributed to the Iron Age or Romano-British period, though precise dating for individual sections remains uncertain without archaeological investigation. The surviving earthwork preserves important evidence of ancient land division and territorial organisation in the English Midlands landscape.
