Geocache Description:


Bourton is a small village close to the Wiltshire / Oxfordshire border and about three miles east of Swindon. It is just off the A420 Swindon to Oxford Road and about a mile south of Shrivenham. In the centre of the village stands a monolith said to have been made by the Danes to commemorate victory in a battle with the Saxons. The Wilts and Berks Canal passes just north of Bourton and used to bring a lot of trade and goods to the village as well as being a means to export. The canal was eventually superseded by the railway. Trade declined again when the nearby Shrivenham Station closed.
