**Cassiobury Park barrow** submitted by vacillating : South side of the barrow, looking from the east down the slope towards the river. Wooden sculpture visible on top. (Vote or comment on this photo)

A circular mound, approx 15m in diameter and 1m high.

Little is known and the identification as a barrow is only 'possible' (it could be e.g. a later garden feature; a nearby mound in a private garden apparently supported a stone obelisk at one stage), but not the invention of the author - the Cassiobury Park Management Plan for January 2013 names it as a possible barrow, for example. On the west side, where the land slopes down towards the river, there is a flat area which could be a berm, and the top of the mound is dipped. A wooden sculpture adorns the top at present and it is neatly mown and easy to access and identify once you are in the right area of the park.
