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.
