Asthall Barrow is an Anglo-Saxon burial mound located approximately 100 metres south-south-west of Barrow Farm in Oxfordshire. The barrow represents a significant funerary monument of the early medieval period, when such earthen mounds served as prominent markers for elite burials within Anglo-Saxon communities. The mound survives as a substantial earthwork, testament to the considerable labour invested in its construction and the status of the individual or individuals interred within it. Such barrows are characteristic of Anglo-Saxon burial practice in the centuries following the settlement of Germanic peoples in Britain, providing important archaeological evidence for understanding social hierarchies and mortuary customs of the period.
