Grim's Bank is a linear earthwork, likely of Iron Age date, extending approximately 420 yards through Old Park and Raven Hill within Ufton Park near Uffington in Berkshire. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch system characteristic of territorial or defensive boundaries of the prehistoric period. This section of the longer Grim's Bank complex represents an important example of Iron Age linear landscape divisions in the Thames Valley region. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological feature despite later agricultural use of the surrounding land.
