Berinsfield is a village and civil parish in the South Oxfordshire district of Oxfordshire, England, with a population of 2,700 (2001 census). The village lacks any relatively old buildings as it was created by converting an old airfield into a village.
The Roman road between Dorchester-on-Thames and Oxford runs through the centre of Berinsfield and the site of a neolithic sacred site, now largely destroyed by gravel pits, lies to the south near the River Thames.[1]
