A verdict of accidental death has been returned at the inquest of Sandra Wiltshire, who was found severely injured in a field in Chippenham last year.
At an inquest into Mrs Wiltshire's death in Salisbury this morning, Sylvia Crawley said she was on her way back home walking her dog when she saw Mrs Wiltshire, of Carrick Close, Chippenham, and her dog, Bruce, lying in a field off Riverside Drive.
Mrs Crawley, of Matford Hill, Chippenham, said: "She said, 'I have been attacked by cows'."
Paramedics attended but could not save Mrs Wiltshire, 68.
The inquest was told that dog walkers walked in the fields by the River Avon but it was not a public right of way. There is a footpath further up the fields.
Charles Miflin, who farms on the field where Mrs Wiltshire was found said he had put up signs saying 'Private' but they had been ripped off.
New signs have now been put up saying 'cows with calves'.
