Brixton Deverill is a small village and civil parish, south of Longbridge Deverill (1.5 miles). The parish is in the Deverill Valley which carries the upper waters of the River Wylye. The six villages of the valley - Kingston Deverill, Monkton Deverill, Brixton, Hill Deverill, Longbridge Deverill and Crockerton - are known as the Deverills A large Roman villa was discovered in the village in February of 2015; after excavations by archaeologists from Historic England and The Salisbury Museum, a mosaic floor was uncovered of a large Roman property, similar in size and structure to the great Roman villa at Chedworth, Gloucestershire. Surviving sections of walls (5ft in height) confirmed that the mosaic formed part of a grand villa, thought to have been three storeys in height, its grounds extending over 110 yards in width and length [ source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brixton_Deverill ]
