Pyrton Hundred is in the southeast corner of the county of Oxfordshire along with the hundreds of Dorchester, Thame, Lewknor, Langtree, Binfield and Ewelme.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Pyrton Hundred from John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles of 1887:
- "Pyrton.-- hundred, Oxfordshire, in S. of co., 14,163 ac., pop. 3324; contains 7 pars, and part of another. "
The parish of Ibstone was a "detached" parish of Pyrton Hundred despite being located in Buckinghamshire. It was also considered to be in the Desborough Hundred within Buckinghamshire. A Vision of Britain through Time does not give a date when its links to the Pyrton hundred were abolished.
