Early medieval settlement, palace, church and Bronze Age ring ditches 340m east of Cowage Farm is a complex archaeological site in Wiltshire comprising remains of multiple periods of occupation and use. The Bronze Age ring ditches represent circular enclosures of prehistoric date, whilst the early medieval features indicate significant settlement activity during the Anglo-Saxon period, including evidence of high-status occupation consistent with royal or aristocratic use. The presence of both a palace structure and an associated church suggests this was an important early medieval power centre. The site's multi-period character and the archaeological deposits it contains make it of considerable importance for understanding settlement patterns and social organisation across both prehistoric and early medieval Wiltshire.
