the barrow to the N. of which the by. is described as passing
is the tumulus (OMi) on Deptford Down (OMi).
4. Thonne utt on Horsegeat: ' Then out to Horse
Gate.'
This was probably somewhere about half-wav down the
E. by.
5. To Ea on Theofa Ford easteweardne : ' To the River
to Thieves' Ford on its east side.'
I strongly suspect that Theofa has been written here
instead of Deopan ; and that the name of the ford was
Deep Ford, the name from which that of the hamlet of
Deptford is derived (OMi). The ford was probably near
where the E. by. running S. meets the Wylye.
6. On enne Crundel: ' To a Quarry.'
Here again I suspect that the copyist has misplaced tins
landmark ; and that it ought to come before the last one.
There are two old chalkpits on either side of the by.
just E. of Deptford (OMi) ; and one may have been actually
on the by. at this part of it.
7. Thonne andlang Ε a aeft on IFylle Ford : ' Then along
the river once more to the Ford of the Spring.'
An appendage to the Wylye charter (B.757) relating
apparently to part of the lands of Baverstock 4 m. W.
of Wilton.
These lands seem to have been an appendage of the
lands of Wylye.
For details of the charter see notes on Wylye, p. 261.

1. Aerest aet Punteles Treozve: 'First at Puntel's
Tree.'
In the Langford charter B.934 is mentioned a Puntes
Stan. Puntel is the diminutive or ' familiar ' form of the
name Punt. In perambulations of Grovely Forest this stone
is called variously Poltenstone, Poltenstan, Pultingston, and
Poultingstone. It is called Powten Stone in OM6. It
seems to have stood at the NE. corner of Langford about
