Swanborough Tump is a mound of earth in Manningford parish, Wiltshire, England. It has been considered to be a bowl barrow dating from the Bronze Age and is listed as a scheduled monument.The mound was the meeting place of the ancient Swanborough Hundred and has been linked with the "Swanabeorh" of a 987 AD Saxon charter titled 'Barrow of the peasants'. Although recorded by Leslie Grinsell as a bowl barrow, the structure is untypical of a prehistoric burial mound and may instead have been built as a meeting-place during the Middle Ages.This location is also significant as it was chosen in A.D. 871 as the meeting place for King Aethelred and his brother, the future King Alfred the Great on their way to fight the Danes. They promised each other that if one of them should die then the dead man's children would inherit land belonging to their father King Aethelwulf. A stone monument and plaque at the site commemorate this event.

Upavon Priory was a small priory in Wiltshire, England. Domesday Book in 1086 recorded land at Upavon held by the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Wandrille, Normandy. A priory was probably established in the 12th century, and in the 13th the church became a prebend of Salisbury. A valuation in 1324 found livestock, two horses, two beds, three tables and sparse chapel fittings. Around this time the nearby church at Charlton St Peter had been appropriated to the priory.Monks of alien priories were expelled from England in 1378, and the priory became a farm. In 1423 Upavon Priory was granted to the Augustinian canons of Ivychurch Priory, south-east of Salisbury, who held it until the Dissolution.There are intermittent records of priors of Upavon between 1262 and 1361. The last remaining building, a barn on a site between the church and the River Avon, was demolished in the early 1820s.
