Old Boundary Markers on Northford Bridge Two Parish Boundary Markers a few metres apart at the foot of the parapet of Northford Bridge, Tuckmill Brook, on the southeast side of the former A420 Faringdon Road / Northford Hill. These could just be wheel guards as there are no inscriptions and nothing is shown on old Ordnance Survey maps but the stones are set either side of the boundary between Shrivenham and Watchfield parishes.
