THE SAXON LAND CHARTERS OF WILTSHIRE. I ~J\ held in common by the landholders in the land-unit. This valley is 3 fur. NW. of Dewn Barn (OMi) in Stratford Tony. 7. On Sceapacumb : ' To Sheep Combe.' This is apparently the lower part of the same valley 3 fur. WSW. of Down Barn (OMi). 8. Of, etc. on Land Sceara Geat: ' From Sheep Combe to the Boundary Gate.' This must have been some furlongs S. of the last. 9. Of etc. on Ludan Beorh : ' From Boundary Gate to Luda's Barrow.' This has vanished from the map ; but, judging from my own experience elsewhere, its traces may still be visible to one who visits the ground. It must have stood somewhere near the end of the broad ridge which the E. by. traverses about i m. NW. of Stratford Tony village. 10. Of etc. on Eblesburnan : ' From Luda's Barrow to the River Ebble.' The E. by. reaches the Ebble about 400 yds. W. of the church at Stratford Tony. A second charter referring to the same lands. B.1004; K.i209. RD. A.D. 957. Granted by King Eadwic to the thegn Elfric. Hides. 5. Name : Aet Eblesburnan. The extant copy of the survey may be of AS. date ; at any rate it is at least founded on one of that age. Survey. 1. Thonne geth hit aerest on Bican Briege : ' Then it goes first to Bitch's Bridge.' See 1 of last charter. 2. Of, etc. on Beorh Dune : ' From the Bridge to Barrow Down.' See 3 of last charter. 3. Fore warde on Ηafoe Η line : ' Forward to Hawk Lynch.' 1 This is the upper lynch of 3 of the last charter. 1 Fore warde may belong to the previous landmark ; and, if so, it would mean that the by. met the down on its face or front.
THE SAXON LAND CHARTERS OF WILTSHIRE. I ~J\ 4. Of, etc. on Stod Peth up zverdne·. ' From Hawk Lynch to (the upper end of ?) Horse Path.' This path is not mentioned in the previous charter. The next landmark shows that it ran to the NW. corner of the parish, not, apparently, along the by. to the ridgeway. 5. Thanon on thone Bradan Her Path : ' Then to the Broad Highway.' This is the great ridgeway. See 2 of previous charter. 6. Of, etc. on Eangythe Hlew : ' From the Highway to Eangyth's low (tumulus).' The language of the survey is here somewhat loose. The Low was one of the tumuli on or near the ridgeway and the N. by. of the parish. The other landmarks of this survey correspond to 6, 8, 9, and 10 of the other charter, except that a final landmark is added, viz, Up on stream aet Biean Briege : ' Upstream to Bitch's Bridge.' This takes the by. along the Ebble to the starting-point of the survey, and shows conclusively, what is indeed plain by inference from the previous charter, that the grant did not include that part of Bishopstone S. of the Ebble.
