Writing in 1931, Victor Strode Manley, as part of his Regional Survey Of Warminster And District, made the following notes about Stockton:
The reason for the site seems to be that it is roughly mid-way between the camp of Oldbury on the north and Stockton earthworks to the south, and between these is the ford over the Wylye at the junction of this river and the stream from Chitterne.
Looking towards Codford one sees the siting barrow which leads to Oldbury Camp.
There is another barrow in a field in the low ground where the railway bridge is.
There are four settlements between Chicklade and Stockton, beside the immense settlement above Stockton and on the north of Groveley, known as ‘Stockton Works’ and ‘Groveley Works’.
The Stockton settlement covers 62 acres . . . (and) there were brick flues . . . at Stockton (H. ii. 272).
Of Roman coins the latest was one of Theodosius, d.395.
The ‘Roman Road’ passes the Works on its way from Sarum to Severn. (See ‘Roman Roads In Britain,’ T. Codrington. S.P.C.K. 1903. 5/-.)
