Grim's Ditch, Grim's Dyke (also Grimsdyke or Grimes Dike in derivative names) or Grim's Bank is a name shared by a number of prehistoric bank and ditch earthworks. Enigmatic in both their naming and original function, examples are found across the chalk uplands of southern England.〔See table〕 ==Purpose== The purpose of these earthworks remains a mystery, but as they are too small for military use they may have served to demarcate territory.〔Sauer (1999) quoted in Henig ''et al.'' (2000); p. 28〕 Archaeologists agree that Iron Age peoples built the earthworks around 300 BC. Today, Grim's Ditch forms a section of The Ridgeway National Trail, a long distance path and one of the 15 National Trails in England and Wales.
