Description: | This drawing describes the borders of the counties of Berkshire, Hampshire and Wiltshire. Their boundaries are marked by red pecked lines, as a note at the base of the drawing explains. The draughtsman has detailed the star-shaped path formation of Savernake Forest, a great royal hunting forest, and recorded the Roman road between Marton and Titcombe. Chisbury, an iron-age hillfort, is marked by concentric rings to the right of Savernake Forest, although the recording of archaeological features did not become obligatory until 1816. To the left of Shalbourne, a windmill is shown in elevation. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Woodland Ancient Ruins Cartography And Topography Archaeology Architecture Landscapes Forests Ancient World Hills | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | unattributed | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
