Neolithic Oxfordshire

The Cotswolds and the Berkshire Downs were dense with ritual activity in the 4th and 3rd millennia BCE — long before Stonehenge was completed. Several sites survive within an easy day's drive of Oxford, ranging from a chambered tomb older than the Pyramids to one of England's largest surviving stone circles.

Below are the Neolithic-era sites currently covered on OxfordLocal. The tag also picks up later Bronze Age monuments built on the same sacred ground; for those, see also prehistoric and ancient.
