The former toll house is situated on the corner of the B4005 road between Wroughton, behind the viewpoint, and Chiseldon to the east past the left of the house. The road to the right leads to Barbury Castle. It is marked as a 'no through road' now but between 1761 and 1875 it was a turnpike road to Marlborough and Everleigh and the tolls were taken at the house then named Burderop Gate. Thanks to a fellow contributor for the additional information. Listed Grade II.
