Barbury Castle Hillfort View all content for Barbury Castle

Yesterday I discovered the sarsen stone memorial to Richard Jefferies and Alfred Williams. In a field on the left as you go uphill towards Barbury Castle - just as you reach a sign saying Barbury 100yds ahead. A lovely pitted four-sided sarsen which stands approximately three metres above the ground (though probably much larger). There are plaques attached to two sides of the stone: Richard Jefferies 1848-1887 "It is eternity now. I am in the midst of it, it is about me in the sunshine." Alfred Williams 1877-1930 "Still to find and still to follow Joy in every hill and hollow Company in Solitude"
