Thames Valley Police have cordoned off the area and are treating the death as unexplained. The woman has not yet been identified, and officers are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
In a statement, the force said: 'We are still in the initial stages of this investigation. If anyone has any information regarding this unexplained death, please contact us on 101 quoting reference 43260255904.'
Banbury Cross, which inspired the nursery rhyme 'Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross', was built in 1859 to celebrate the wedding of Queen Victoria's eldest daughter.
