Jarn's Mound and Wild Garden was constructed by British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851-1941) who is best known for his excavation and reconstruction of the Bronze Age palace of Knossos on Crete.

He lived on Boars Hill from 1894 until his death and was passionate about protecting the area and maintaining its beauty for others to enjoy.

He constructed an artificial mound which is 15 metres high to bring out the magnificent views over to the city of Oxford in one direction, and the Vale of the White Horse in the other.
