Buckinghamshire Grim's Ditch is a linear earthwork that extends from Redland End through Barnes's Grove to Hampden Park in the county. The monument comprises a substantial bank and ditch formation typical of prehistoric territorial or defensive boundaries, with sections of the work remaining clearly visible across the landscape. The earthwork is generally attributed to the Iron Age period, when such linear features were commonly constructed across southern England to demarcate land, control movement, or serve defensive purposes. This particular stretch represents part of a longer system of Grim's Ditch that extends across multiple parishes in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
