Abstract:		 The location of the Grim's Ditch was already known, but the excavations of the trenches provided some information on the construction of the monument in this area of its course (Trench 1). Though a number of features were noted it is difficult to date some of these features precisely. A number of features recognised in the area of the Timber Yard (Trench 9), for example ditches and post-hole, were cut from below the subsoil and it is likely that these could have been of a later prehistoric or Roman date, although they were essentially undated. The reason for suspecting an early date is that a piece of daub was recovered from this area. Observations in Trench 2 noted the remains of a significant stone building of a medieval date under the park land to the north of the Grim's Ditch and downhill from it. Though not precisely datable the tile from this building seems to be of a twelfth or thirteenth century date, and a residual Roman coin was recovered from the site but was unstratified. This structure may have been located in a partial enclosure, as the line of a ditch was located between it and the Grim's Ditch. Trench 6 (cut by British Telecom) uncovered the remains of three walls near the stables, which were associated with square handmade nails and fragment of glass with the emblem of the Earl of Lichfield.
