Grim's Bank is a linear earthwork extending south-westward for approximately 825 metres from New Plantation in Ufton Park to a point near the Rectory in Berkshire. The monument represents a substantial bank formation characteristic of early medieval or late prehistoric defensive or boundary works, though precise dating requires archaeological investigation. The earthwork's length and positioning suggest it may have served as a territorial boundary or defensive line within the Anglo-Saxon landscape of Berkshire. The surviving section demonstrates the enduring physical imprint of ancient land division and settlement organisation in this region of southern England.
