Place:Downton Hundred, Wiltshire, England

Downton Hundred is located south of Salisbury on the Wiltshire-Dorset border. On the east is Frustfield Hundred and on the west is Cawden and Cadworth Hundred. One parish, East Knoyle, makes up a small detached section of Downton Hundred to the west of Cawden and Cadworth. Redlynch parish was formed from Downton parish after the use of "hundreds" had ceased.

To place the hundred within the county, see Map of the Hundreds of Wiltshire, 1832, a map from HMSO Boundary Commissioners, dated 1832, provided by A Vision of Britain through Time.

The Hundred and its individual parishes are covered in Volume 11 of the Victoria County History for Hampshire. On the first page there is a map showing the detached portions of the hundred, together with the parishes and their subordinate parts.
