A pair of Bronze Age round barrows and surrounding Civil War fieldworks located 180 metres north-west of Park Farm in Oxfordshire represents two distinct phases of defensive and commemorative land use spanning over two millennia. The barrows themselves date to the Bronze Age and would have served as burial monuments for elite members of the contemporary community, whilst the earthwork fortifications surrounding them were constructed during the English Civil War, likely as part of wider military operations in the region. The survival of both monument types at this location provides evidence for the reuse and strategic importance of elevated ground in Oxfordshire throughout the prehistoric and early modern periods. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1011224.
