Swalcliffe
Swalcliffe is a village and civil parish about west of Banbury in Oxfordshire. The parish is about long north – south and about east – west. The 2011 Census recorded the population of the modern Swalcliffe parish as 210. The toponym "Swalcliffe" comes from the Old English ''swealwe'' and ''clif'', meaning a slope or cliff frequented by swallows. The ancient parish of Swalcliffe was larger than the present civil parish, and included the townships of Epwell, Shutford, Sibford Ferris and Sibford Gower. ==Archaeology== About northeast of the village are the remains of an Iron Age hill fort on Madmarston Hill and the site of a Roman villa at Swalcliffe Lea. The hill fort is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The site of the villa is close to the course of a former Roman road running approximately east – west. Its course is now a bridleway. One authority asserts that there was a Roman or Romano-British village here.
