Image of Lambourn Sevenbarrows by Chance

The view from the road leading into Lambourn. – This is the most westerly point of the barrow group and the closest to the original long barrow (known to be visible). This point also marks the county line between Oxfordshire and Berkshire. A strange border that is difficult to follow on the OS map, this looks like it was re-drawn many times in the ancient past, with the L7B barrow group and it’s outlining barrows, defining the territory of one tribe to that of another.
