Swanborough Tump is an earthen mound in Manningford parish, Wiltshire, listed as a scheduled monument [1]. Its origins are debated -- it may be a Neolithic long barrow, Early Bronze Age round barrows, or a medieval assembly mound [1] [2]. It served as the meeting place of the Swanborough Hundred [1]. Meetings were recorded at the site as late as the 18th century [2].
