SU5581 : Berks - Oxon Border
taken 12 years ago, near to Aldworth, West Berkshire, England
Berks - Oxon Border
Through the wood here you've got Oxfordshire on the left of the path and Berkshire on the right. The bank and ditch of an old boundary are still plain to see and it would be reasonable to assume that this is an ancient county line, but along here that status only dates from the 1970s following a reorganization. For centuries before, this was all Berkshire.
But I'm guessing the county follows parish boundaries so that may well be what this earthwork is. Moulsford (Oxon) and Aldworth (Berks)
