Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out at Model Farm on the Ditchley Park Estate located in Spelsbury parish, Oxfordshire (NGR SP 38182 20825). This was in advance of the installation of a wood chip storage facility. The site of Model Farm lies close to the scheduled ancient monument of an Iron Age date known as the Grim's Ditch. An enclosure in the Model Farm area was associated with the Grim's Ditch, but its veracity has been considered suspect. A linear bank at right angles to the grim's Ditch has been noted in the Little Park between the Model farm and Ditchley House. The area was later that of a Model farm associated with the Agricultural Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. Two previous evaluations have taken place at Model Farm, the first in 1998 identified the remains of a stone wall (presumably associated with the earlier stone buildings of the farm), while the latter in 2002 was negative. This watching brief identified a number of undated features of pits, ditches and gullies that were cut into the natural. The lack of dating evidence means that there is no proper context but it does point to activity adjacent to the Grim's Dyke, which could be associated with the earlier enclosure that the existence of this has been speculated upon.
