the north bank of the river Thames at its confluence with the
Evenlode, and covers 2,299 a. (930 ha.) of alluvium, river
gravel, and Oxford clay. It contains the hamlet of Worton and
the site of the deserted medieval hamlet of Somerford. (fn. 92)
The parish boundary follows the Thames on the south, streams of
the Evenlode on the west, and field boundaries on the east and
north-east; in the north the parish extends into Burleigh wood
which in the later 13th century was claimed by both Cassington
and Bladon, and the boundary there is probably later than that
in the rest of the parish.
