The area all around Marlow is rich in archaeology. There were Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements just to the west of the town and Iron Age hill forts at Danesfield and Medmenham, Roman villas have been found at Hambleden, Mill End and Hurley. The centre of the town has been settled since the Saxon period at the latest, and for most of that time Marlow, an inland port, was one of the more important towns in the area.
