I don't know, I have a Colte-Hoare map which shows it differently and has the spring marked as Swallowhead.
It seems to be a bit vague as no one seems to have had a good look at it.
It maybe a somewhat modern fearure as MJB suggested to do with landscaping at the Manor house.
The Girt Bank thing is also interesting, it is marked on a painting in Trowbridge and shows a large built up bank on the side of the road with Spring pump a short distance away from where the top of the mound is now.
What happened to the Bank I wonder?
Was it cleared and dumped to form Silbaby?
Whatever, it is a bit of a mystery in that little bit of land.
