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.

All that remains is this large stone, 11ft long, which appears to lie within a small mound of about 30ft across.
