Recently constructed to contain storm run off from a new development site and release it slowly into the small watercourse just visible bottom left.
Heavy rain over the last few days shows it seems to be working ok.

The end of Elmhurst Way, Shilton Park, Carterton, Oxon
Although this photograph was taken several months ago, the road is still blocked here at present (August 2016). Beyond there has been considerable progress with the building of a new housing estate known as Swinbrook Park. This is at the higher end of the market with three and four bedroom houses currently under construction. Presumably at some stage this road between the Swinbrook Park estate and the adjacent Shilton Park estate will be opened.

Field adjacent to Squash Club, Carterton, Oxon
This field is connected by footpaths to nearby housing estates and the grass is regularly cut. It is used by walkers, including dog walkers. There are some seats and dog waste bins. The building with a flat roof, in the far distance, is home to Carterton Squash and Squash 57 (Racketball) Club. Road access to this is by Baldwin Mews, off Swinbrook Road.

The helicopter is operated by Thames Valley Air Ambulance, a registered charity. It covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire. I don't know what it was doing on this particular occasion, possibly it was a training exercise.
