Stockton, Wiltshire

Bapton is a hamlet in Wiltshire, England, in the civil parish of Stockton. It lies south of the A36 and the River Wylye, on the minor road which follows the right bank of the Wylye, about 1 mile southeast of Stockton village and about 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Warminster. Bapton, consisting of 1,174 acres, almost all owned as a single estate, was part of Fisherton Delamere parish from the earliest times until that parish was extinguished in 1934, when Bapton was transferred to Stockton. The estate was owned by Sir Cecil Chubb, the last private owner of Stonehenge, from 1927 until his death. In 1939 his heirs sold the property to Alfred Douglas-Hamilton, 13th Duke of Hamilton, who died in 1940.Bapton Manor is a country house in dressed limestone. The five-bay front was built in the 1730s, while the east end may date from the 17th century.

Codford Circle, also known as Wilsbury Ring, Woldsbury, and possibly Oldbury Camp, is a neolithic hill top enclosure or possible hillfort located on the summit of Codford Hill, a chalk promontory of Salisbury Plain, near to the village and civil parish of Codford, in Wiltshire, England.The site is oval in plan and approximately of 3.6 ha (8.9 acres). It is surrounded by a bank 6.5 m (21 ft) wide and up to 1.6 m (5.2 ft) high, then a ditch 5 m (16 ft) wide and up to 0.5 m (1.6 ft) deep, although an area on the south eastern edge has been reduced by ploughing. Aerial photography shows signs of an inner ditch, possibly signs of a former palisade fence, and entrances on the east and west sides. The entrances on the southeast and northwest sides are later in date. There is no archaeological evidence for occupation, and the earthworks have been interpreted as being defensively weak owing to their slight nature, therefore the site is interpreted as an enclosure of an unknown but ancient date.
