Grim's Ditch in Wychwood, Oxon

There are many Grim's ditches in the South of England; and there are other ditches of similar appearance and dimensions which, though not called by this name, may have had the same origin. Amongst them probably is Wansdyke, more correctly called Wansditch, and originally Woden's ditch. Locally these earthworks are now generally known as the Devil's ditch. I shall describe here the course of one such Grim's ditch, based upon field-work carried out during the spring and summer of this year, in the course of which I both walked and flew along the whole course of the various ditches mentioned and was able to add many miles to the portions previously known
