**Mount Skippet** submitted by Andy B : "Mount Skippett" near Chilton in Oxfordshire. Possible bronze age bowl barrow, though most will know better than I do. Photo Credit: Hedley Thorne HedleyThorne.com (Vote or comment on this photo)

Probable site of a round barrow located on a hilltop.

The name was supplied in the 1930s by the keeper of the Horse and Jockey Inn nearby. It merges with a small natural knoll so hard to be sure. 0.8 metres high on the northeast and 2 metres high on the southwest and has a diameter of about 30 metres.
