A LIST OF PREHISTORIC, ROMAN, AND PAGAN SAXON 



ANTIQUITIES IN THE COUNTY OF WILTS. 



ARRANGED UNDER PARISHES. 



By TnB Rev. E. H. Goddard. 



The compilation of this List has been in hand for a good many 

 years It was originally begun for the purpose of the Prehistoric 

 section of the Victoria History of Wiltshire, but inasmuch as there 

 appears no prospect of that work seeing the light in the lifetime of 

 the present generation, it has seemed worth while to put such 

 material as has accumulated, into shape, and to print the list now, 

 with all its imperfections, rather than to wait indefinitely in the 

 hope of making it more perfect in the future. Such a list can only 

 at the best be approximately complete, and the present list makes 

 no claim to be even that. The section which deals with the Barrows 

 is the most important and at the same time the most complete 

 part of the whole, but even in the case of the barrows the difficulty 

 of identifying those shown on tlie maps of Hoare's Ancient Wilts 

 with those shown by other authorities, such as Dean Merewether, 

 the Rev. A. C. Smith, and the Ordnance Survey Maps, is often very 

 great.. A large number of barrows have disappeared since Hoare's 

 time, whilst some which are shown on the modern Ordnance 6 inch 

 Map, more especially in North Wilts, are not marked on Hoare's 

 maps at all. On the other hand a considerable number which still 

 exist have escaped the notice of the compilers of the Ordnance
