Ring ditches, barrows and associated enclosures, Port Meadow is a Bronze Age monument complex located in the meadowland northwest of Oxford. The site comprises a series of ring ditches and burial mounds arranged across the flat floodplain landscape, representing a significant prehistoric burial and ceremonial focus. These earthworks, typical of Bronze Age funerary practice, would originally have been more prominent in the landscape than their current degraded state suggests. The monument demonstrates the importance of Port Meadow as a zone of ritual activity and elite burial during the second millennium BC.
