Excavation in the grounds of Littlecote House in Wiltshire, 1978-1991, revealed a Romano-British villa complex, a twelfth to fifteenth century medieval village, and a seventeenth/eighteenth century hunting lodge. As the excavation progressed the villa remains were consolidated to present a permanent monument for public viewing. Aimed at both the public, archaeologists, and academics this book records the archaeological story of Littlecote from prehistoric activity to a hunting park enjoyed by a king.

Bishopstone with Little Hinton Parish was formerly two parishes - Bishopstone and Hinton. They are in north-east Wiltshire on land which has a long and varied history that spans over 12,000 years of human activity. The two authors have for many years trod the fields and byways of the parish searching for evidence of man's impact on the landscape and the artefacts they have left behind. This book records for present and future generations their discoveries and those of others within the parish - from prehistoric flint tools to deserted medieval villages and long-lost water mills.

The borough of Swindon embraces not only one of the largest towns in central southern England; it includes also large tracts of chalk downland and much of the upper Thames valley. The rapid pace of development across this area has resulted in a wealth of important archaeological discoveries, from earliest prehistory to the recent past. Bernard Phillips, author of this profusely illustrated survey, has played a leading part in excavating and understanding Swindon's archaeology over more than fifty years, and so is able to bring to his subject a unique authority, making this the indispensable handbook to the evolution of a region now home to almost a quarter of a million people.
