On Waddon Hill to the northwest of the village are the remains of earthworks of an early settlement, consisting of a low bank wide and traces of a ditch, though historic quarrying around the hill may have destroyed more.
Mid-1st- century Roman and Romano- British military artefacts were found on the hill's southern slopes in 1876 – 8.
