Buckinghamshire Grim's Ditch is an ancient linear earthwork comprising two sections located between Oaken Grove and Lanes End in Buckinghamshire. The monument consists of a ditch with an associated bank, characteristic of Iron Age territorial boundaries or defensive works, though the precise dating and original function remain subjects of archaeological interpretation. The two recorded segments represent surviving portions of what may have formed part of a more extensive system of linear earthworks in the region. Such features are commonly attributed to the Iron Age period, when similar ditched boundaries appear across southern Britain, though some examples may have earlier or later phases of use.
