Archaeology
There used to be three bowl barrows in the south-west part of the parish, close to the boundary with Chisbury parish. These suggest human occupation in the area some time in the Neolithic or Bronze Age.
In 1725 the remains of a Roman villa were found at Rudge Coppice about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-west of the village. Remains excavated on the site include a Roman mosaic floor depicting the figure of a man, coins, human burials, a stone statuette of Atys and a champlevé-enamelled bronze bowl known as the Rudge Cup, that appears to depict Hadrian's Wall.
