For reasons that may become clear with my more detailed description of Adlestrop Hill Long Barrow I think you may find that this contribution relates to the same barrow - this barrow is not in Oxfordshire but in Gloucestershire and its more accurate Map Ref is SP25362827 - the 'other stones, barrows' etc are 'rugg' (or 'rugge') stones often referred to in the area as 'goose stones' (also referred to on another page of this site - which will feature also in my description of the 'Cornwell Circle' just across the County Boundary in Oxfordshire where there are two sites called by MP 'Burnt Hill') - sometime in the recent past I think one or two wires became crossed

Yeah, I reckon there are some round barrows on this site also. One of the tumps looks like the stones have been shaped tyo go together in some way.
