13. Et eodem septo to Baggan Gete : ' And by the same
Hedge to Bagga's Gate.'
Mentioned in B.1213. This gate was probably where
the by. crosses the interval between Bedwyn Common and
Birch Copse (OMi).
14. Et sic in ilium septum to Bradan Leage : ' And so
to the Hedge to Broad Lea.'
This lea is mentioned in B.1213. It was on the site of
Birch Copse (OMi).
15. Transitque illo septo Bradanleage intrans in Standene
: ' And it passes the Hedge of Broad Lea entering
into Stone Dean.'
This seems to be the dean on the NW. edge of Birch
Copse (OMi). 1
16. Et in longum ejus in quoddam Vallum : ' And along
it to a Dyke.'
This dyke must have been somewhere on the site of
Horseleaze Wood (OM6), the wood 3 fur. W. of Littleworth
(OMi).
17. Ejusque valli serie in Puttan ealh : 'Along that
dyke to Putta's Hollow.'
The name of this hollow survives in that of Puthall
Farm (OMi) and Puthall Lodge Gate (OM6). The hollow
appears to be that on the NW. side of Horseleaze Wood
(see above). 2
18. Et sic in longum aggeris to Bulcan Pytte : ' And so
along the Dyke to Bulca's Pit.'
O.G.S.C. mentions that an old pit exists near the SW.
corner of Hens Wood (OMi).
19. Indeque in longum vallis (? read valli) et sic emenso
spatio stratae in quoddam petrosum clivum : ' And thence
along the valley, and, having crossed (?) the width of the
Street (Made Road), to a (steep) stony slope.'
Mr. Crawford has traced the course of the Roman Road
in this part—the straet of the charter. It cuts the parish
by. on the S. by. of Hens Wood (OMi) due N. of Knowle
Farm (OMi).
Probably the stony slope was on the by. towards the
E. end of Hens Wood (OMi).
1 O.G.S.C. thinks it is the valley in which
Puthall Farm (OMi) stands. That is
possible.
2 Puttehale is mentioned in a perambulation
of Savernake Forest temp. Edw. I.
