BOREHAM, a hamlet 1 mile SE of Warminster, in Wilts. A church was erected here in 1865. Boreham House here is the property of Sir F. D. Astley, Bart. An earthwork in the vicinity, called the Berries, is a vestige of a Roman station on the road from Old Sarum to Bath; and has yielded Roman pottery and many coins.
