Section of the north Oxfordshire Grim's Ditch running east from the River Evenlode opposite Cornbury Park is a linear earthwork of Iron Age date forming part of the Grim's Ditch system. The monument comprises a substantial bank and ditch construction that extends eastward from the Evenlode valley in the vicinity of Cornbury Park, representing a segment of the larger defensive or territorial boundary system that characterises north Oxfordshire. The earthwork belongs to a broader pattern of linear monuments dating to the later Iron Age, likely constructed during the first millennium BC.
