Poundon is a hamlet and a civil parish in Aylesbury Vale district in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located near the Oxfordshire border, about four miles northeast of Bicester, three miles southwest of Steeple Claydon.
The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, though its meaning is uncertain. In manorial rolls of 1255 it was recorded as Paundon.
During the Second World War Poundon was the site of stations 53b and 53c of the Special Operations Executive (SOE). Just outside the village is Tower Hill Business Park. This used to be Poundon Hill Wireless Station, a FCO/MI6 signals intelligence station. [2] [3]
