THE SAXON LAND CHARTERS OF WILTSHIRE. I ~J\
2. Thonon on Aes (read Aesc) Dune : ' Then to the
Down of the Ashtrees.'
This must be the down at the SE. side of the parish.
3. Of, etc. to Puntes Stan : ' From Ash Down to
Punt's Stone.'
This stone was at the southernmost corner of the parish,
5 fur. NVV. of the church at Grovely Wood (OMi). Powten
Stone (OM6) is now the name of the part of the wood
which stands immed. SE. of it. Various medieval forms
of the name, especially in the perambulation of Wishford,
are Poulting Stone, Poltenstone, and Polterstan.
4. Thonon andlang Grimes Die to Hunan Wege to tham
Stane.
For Grimes Die and Hunan Weg see 2 of the previous
charter.
The stone must have stood at the SW. corner of the
parish. There is a boundary stone there now (OM6).
5. Thonon on Boteseumb : ' Then to Bot's Combe.'
See 3 of previous charter.
6. Thonon on thone . . . (probably Weg omitted) to
Brocenan Beorh : ' Then to the Way, to the Broken Barrow.'
The Way is the herepath and Hunan Weg of 2, 3, and 4
of the previous charter. I strongly suspect that the mound
marked on OM6 on the W. by. about 350 yds. ESE. of
East Castle (OMi) is the broken barrow.
7. Thonon adune andlang Weges on thone Lytlan . . .
(some word omitted) to Brocenan Beorh : ' Then down the
Way to the Little . . .'
The last words have been repeated by mistake from the
last landmark. The weg is the herepath of 4 of the previous
charter. I cannot conjecture what the omitted word is.
8. Thonon eft on tha Ea : ' Then once more to the river.'
See 7 of last charter.
The surveyor seems to have assumed that the Wylye
is to be taken as the N. by. of the grant.

Cheney (Moredon), 1 m. N. of Swindon.
B.788; K.i 146.
