thane Won Hlinc : ' First from the Bank of the Wylye up
along the Boundary Furrow to the Bent Lynch.'
The survey begins where the W. by. of Wylye, running
S., leaves the Wylye river 7+ fur. E. by S. of Wylye church
(OMi). The boundary furrow ran S. from this point ;
and the bent lynch must have been on the E. bv. + m. NE.
of Bilbury Rings (OMi).
2. Of, etc. to Wege : ' From the Lynch to the Way
(or Track).'
This way is still represented by a track which runs up
this E. by. E. of Bilbury Rings (OMi).
3. And lang Weges to Maerhlinee : ' Along the Way
to the Boundary Lynch.'
This lynch must have been on the side of the valley
on the E. by., E. of Bilbury Rings (OMi).
4. And lang etc. to Stancumbe : ' Along the Boundary-
Lynch to Stone Combe.'
This is the valley along which the E. by. runs about
f m. SE. of Bilbury Rings (OMi).
5. Of, etc. up ofer tha Eorth Burg: ' From Stancombe
up over the Earthen Camp.'
This is the camp called Hanging Langford Camp (OMi).
6. Fram etc. to Wulf Flodan : ' From the Earthen
Camp to Wolf (great intermittent) Spring.'
I do not know whether this spring still exists ; but it
seems to have been at the SE. corner of the parish, about a
furlong S. of the above camp.
7. Thonen aend lang thare Die from Wulfflodan to
Τeofuntinga Gemaere : ' Then along the Dyke from Wolf
Spring to the Boundaries (or Balks) of the people of Teffont.'
This dyke (OM6) is still apparent along nearly the whole
of the S. by. of Wylve. The Teffont by. is reached about
3 fur. W. of the SE. angle of Wylye.
8. Thonne and lang thare Die oth Sidan Ham7ne:
' Then along the dyke as far as Sida's Enclosure.' 1
The Dyke, as has been already said, extends all along
the S. by. Sidan hamm must have been at the SW. angle
of the parish, just S. of the Bake (OMi).
9. On thare Hina Gemaere : ' To the Balks of the
Servants.'
1 1 am doubtful -whether Sidan is a personal name, for I know of two other Sidan
Hamms elsewhere
