BarryC visited on 16th Sep 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 A gorgeous autumnal day, out aimlessly trundling on the motorcycle, I remembered this site as having no photographs, surprisingly. I'm sure I remembered this site as having confiers on it, but the single tree is so mature that I must have been imagining that. Footpath across field, and close to the site. Access from the A40 side perhaps unqise - such a fast road, but from the B4047 side one might park relatively easily, and there's a 'stone wall stile' to be negotiated. In September the crop (cereal?) had been harvested. Photogrpahs taken, site seen, onwards in search of coffee and cake...

Barrow Cemetery in Oxfordshire

Asthall Barrow is a medium sized mound with stonework around it and a clump of trees on top. The stone work has probably been added after archaeology was done there.
