Smallgreenberd visited on 18th Jun 2011 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 This requires leaving the bridle path that intersects Barton Farm just south of the farm's drive to the main Banbury Oxford road. Leave the bridle path on a track that heads westish down into a clearing. Keep walking, following the clearing, and there's another cleared bit heading uphill on the right. The stone is on top of this hill. It's a lonely place and the stone is being a bit overtaken by grass and lichens.

No suggestion that this is a long barrow on the Environment Agency lidar (grey icon next to that for CamRA)

A quiet spot that takes a little bit of finding in the spring when the vegetation is high. Too sad that this stone is no longer upright, but worth a visit.
