From The Residential Attractions Of Frome And Warminster, An Illustrated Guide Of Interest To The Home-Seeker, published for Harding and Sons, Auctioneers, Estate Agents And Surveyors, 1926:
Cley Hill, off the Frome Road about 2½ miles from the town [of Warminster], is historically associated with the rally of the West Saxons under Alfred and the repulse of the Danish invaders. Several hoards of Roman coins have been found on the hill. Formerly it was a great centre for cock fights.
