Rectangular earthwork enclosure in Hill Wood, 650m south east of Grimsdyke Farm, is a scheduled ancient monument of Iron Age date located in Oxfordshire. The site comprises a substantially preserved rectangular enclosure formed by earthen banks, characteristic of defensive or administrative settlements of the later prehistoric period.
