Extract

The site of an Early Iron Age village on All Cannings Cross Farm, about six miles east of Devizes, was discovered quite by chance. In this corn-growing country great open ploughed fields fringe the lower slopes of the high chalk downs. At All Cannings Cross the ploughed land stretches to the foot of Tan Hill and Clifford's Hill, on the Marlborough Downs, overlooking the vale of Pewsey. The site of the settlement has been under plough for many years, perhaps for centuries, so that any surface indications there may once have been, have long since disappeared.
