The arrangement of the Wiltshire volume follows the pattern of its immediate predecessor. The editors comment on the prominence in this county of names of British origin, though these are basically of hills, woods, and rivers, rather than of habitations Field-names occupy more than ninety pages of this large volume. An end-pocket contains a county map (showing hundred and parish boundaries) and four distribution maps (locating leah and (ge)hoeg, tun and ingtun, ham(m) and hamtun. and cote, porp, wor). This county was unaffected by the boundary changes of 1973.
