Writing in 1931, Victor Strode Manley, as part of his Regional Survey Of Warminster And District, made the following notes about Sherrington:
In the valley eastwards is a long barrow. Northwards over the river [Wylye] is Codford Castle Ring. Southwards on the hill called The Cleeve are two low barrows at the foot, a sunken road or holloway leading from the valley to Mount Pleasant where it joins a terraced road at the hill-foot. About the 500 contour the hillside has a fine series of lynchets, and above these a large barrow seen on the skyline from below, and two more barrows above it. Further over is the “Roman Roadâ€. These remains seem to have been connected with the terraces on the Stockton side of the road, and to the north west Golden Barrow in the valley at Upton Lovell.
