I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Scutchamer Knob, also known as Cuckhamsley Hill is an early Iron Age round barrow on the Ridgeway National Trail at East Hendred Down in Oxfordshire.
Originally called Cwichelmeshlaew or Cwichelm's Barrow, it is recorded as having been the place where King Edwin of Northumbria killed Cwichelm of Wessex in AD 636 and, in the Middle Ages, became the meeting point of the shire moot (or market) which was abolished in 1620.
It was long thought to be the actual burial place of Cwichelm but the mound has been excavated several times without serious finds.
The barrow is privately owned but there is free public access through a metal kissing gate.
Free parking is nearby in an informal car park on The Ridgeway
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 27/07/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
