Grim's Bank is an ancient linear earthwork in Ufton Park, Berkshire, comprising a substantial section of bank extending approximately 420 yards across the landscape of Old Park and Raven Hill. The monument represents a defensive or boundary work of Anglo-Saxon date, consistent with the type of linear fortifications known as dykes that characterise the early medieval period in southern England. The earthwork survives as a raised bank, though its physical condition and precise original form reflect the considerable antiquity of its construction and the long processes of landscape change. As a scheduled ancient monument, Grim's Bank contributes to understanding the territorial organisation and settlement patterns of early medieval Berkshire.
