5. Of, ctc. to Lytlan crundelle: ' From the Low to Little
Quarry.'
This is the old chalkpit at the bottom of the hill (OM6),
£ m. NW. of the last tumulus.
6. Of, etc. on tha Lytla Hwitan Gerythra beneathan
Yfre: ' From the Quarry to the Little White ... 1
beneath the Escarpment.'
This was at the bottom of the down, and cannot have
been far NW. of the old chalkpit.
7. On thane Thorn : ' To the Thorntree.'
This is probably part of the last point, i.e. it was at
the Gerythra.
8. Thonne of etc. to tharn Herepathe on Hoddes Stoee :
' Then from the Thorntree to the Highway to Hod's
Stake.'
The highway is the road to Wilton which passes S. of
the church at Ansty (OMi). 2
The language of the survey leaves it uncertain whether
the stake was by the road. It was no doubt the boundary
stake of a ploughland. The by. runs along the herepath
for about 1 fur. It is probable that the stake was at the
point where the by. leaves the road to pass N.
9. To uncer Wulfriees Eald Gemaere: ' To (our ?)
Wulfric's Old Balk.'
This must have been on the W. by. just N. of the
herepath. The right-angled turns on that by. show that
arable land abutted on it.
10. Thone andlang Chealf a Dune to than Holan Pathe ·.
' Then along Calves' Down to the Hollow Path.'
This down is the isolated hill which stands a short £ m.
W. of the village. Over the E. edge of it runs Chowlden
Lane (OM6). I suspect that the name of the lane is that
of the old down in a corrupted form. The hollow path
was along the short stretch of by. which runs W. from the
N. side of Cealfa Dun. Probably the road coming W. from
the village took this line in former days.
11. Of, etc. on Wida (read Wuda) Ford : ' From the
Hollow Path to the Ford of the Wood.'
This ford is mentioned in the Tisbury charter K.641..
It was at, or close to, the place where the road running W.
