Tachbrook (3 miles south-west of Warwick). An entrenchment in good preservation and of considerable size lies in Oakley Wood, on the right-hand side of the Warwick and Banbury Road, about 1¼ miles south-south-east of the parish church of Bishop's Tachbrook. It is upon fairly level ground between Ashorne Hill to the south and some rounded elevations in Tachbrook to the north.
