In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bannerdown like this:
BANNERDOWN, a tract containing the meeting point of Wilts, Gloucester, and Somerset. The point is 1¼ mile NW of the Box tunnel of the Great Western railway, and 4¾ miles W of Corsham. It was marked, for upwards of a century, by three small stones; but is marked now by a cromlech, set up in 1858.
