This research has been organised by merging the parish SMR site records for Devizes, Potterne, Bishops Canning, Roundway, Heddington, Bromham and Rowde parishes into a table. The archaeological ages were assigned as given in the Wiltshire SMR site record..

• The table has been sorted first by archaeological period and then parish – this appears at the bottom of the report
• Bar charts for the frequency of each archaeological period is shown below; this gives the number and percentage of sites in each period in the 7 parishes.
