Buckinghamshire Grim's Ditch is an ancient linear earthwork forming part of the extensive Grim's Ditch system that traverses the Chiltern Hills and surrounding regions. The 520-metre section between Lanes End and Bottom Road survives as a substantial bank and ditch formation, characteristic of Iron Age territorial or boundary markers, though some scholars have proposed later Romano-British reuse or modification.
