Gryme's Dyke at Stanway Green is a defensive earthwork forming part of the Iron Age and Romano-British settlement complex at Camulodunum in Essex. The dyke comprises a linear bank and ditch system that served as a territorial boundary and defensive feature associated with the oppidum, which functioned as a major centre of power and settlement from the late Iron Age through the Roman period. The earthwork remains visible as a substantial archaeological feature in the landscape, preserving evidence of the engineering works undertaken to demarcate and protect this significant settlement. The site is integral to understanding the development of Camulodunum from its Iron Age origins through its establishment as a major Roman urban centre.
