There are two massive late Bronze Age round barrows [or "Tar barrows"] just minutes from our house. This is the best preserved - in the field opposite the Burford Road Garage.
Aerial photographs and a geophysical survey have revealed the vestiges of a significant Romano-British ritual site in the surrounding fields. I read that this would have been the obvious site for the town of Corinium but the Romans preferred to leave the existing occupation in place.
When I came here a few days ago it was bright and sunny but today it is deserted and overcast. The veil feels a bit thin: there is too much dead wood; I'm starting to worry who is buried here....
Here is the second barrow next to the Tar Barrow Cricket ground:
