THE SAXON LAND CHARTERS OF WILTSHIRE. I ~J\ may well have been. The hollow stone of 13 and the Hoar stone of 14 must then have been on the by. N. of this lynch, and S. of the Ridgeway. 24. Of, etc. on Wen Beorge : ' From the Cat Holes to Wen Barrow.' 25. Of, etc. on thone Mycelan Cumbe: 'From the Barrow to the Great Combe.' 26. Of, etc. on Smalan Combe : ' From the Great Combe to Narrow Combe.' This last combe is very clearly marked. It is that on the W. by. i m. N. of the Ridgeway (OMi). The great combe is that in the S. part of Wanborough parish, along the E. edge of which the Hinton by. runs. The Wenbeorh of 24, the first element of which name is probably pre- Saxon, is evidently the barrow from which Wanborough got its name. All traces of it have apparently vanished ; but it must have stood on the W. by. of Hinton somewhere near Wanborough Plain Farm (OMi) in Wanborough parish. 27. Of, etc. on thone Ealdan Ireozu Stede: ' From Narrow Combe to the Old Farmsteading by the Tree.' 28. Of, etc. on tha Wogan Apoldran : ' From the Old Farmsteading by the Tree to the Bent Appletree.' 29. Of, etc. on Folces Die : ' From the Bent Appletree to Folk's Dyke.' 30. Of, etc. 011 Ealcheres Die : ' From Folk's Dyke to Ealcher's Dyke.' 31. Of, etc. on tha Apoldran : ' From Ealcher's Dyke to the Appletree.' 32. Of, etc. innan Smitan : ' From the Appletree to Smita.' For Smita see 1. Just before reaching the Smita the by. goes for a long way along the course of a stream (as a fact the Lide of the Liddington charter K.386), which looks as if it had been straightened in the past. This is probably Ealcheres Die. The Folces Die ran probably along that part of the by. near Mount Pleasant (OMi). It does not, as far as can be seen, seem to have had any connexion with the Folces Die of the Wanborough charter. The landmarks 27, 28, and 29 are of such a character that all trace of them has naturally vanished. All that can
THE SAXON LAND CHARTERS OF WILTSHIRE. I ~J\ be said is that they lay on that part of the W. by. between Smal Cumb and Folces Die. The Survey of Wanborough. 1. Of than Stapole stent innan Seoeera Wege : ' From the Pole which stands inside . . . Way.' In the perambulation of Aldbourne of the year 1591 is mentioned a Shuger Waie which ran along the S. by. of Wanborough. This is evidently the Seocera Weg of the charter. The SE. corner of the parish is on Sugar Hill (OMi), a name also derived from Seoeera Weg. The pole must have stood at this SE. corner of Wanborough parish, 5 fur. ESE. of Liddington Warren Farm (OMi). 2. Swa innan tha Wogan Dice : ' So to the Crooked Dyke.' Sugar Hill, above mentioned, is called Dige Hill in the 1591 perambulation of Aldbourne. Probably the dyke ran up the W. by. E. of Liddington Warren Farm (OMi). 3. Of, etc. innan Β eh hilde Sloh : ' From the Crooked Dyke to Behild's Slough.' There is a reference to a Bechilde Treu, ' Behhild's Tree,' in the Liddington charter K.386 ; and a comparison of the references would place the slough on the W. by. about i m. due N. of Liddington Warren Farm (OMi). 4. Of, etc. up pan Beordune : ' From Behhild's Slough up to Barrow Down.' This is the down on the W. by. S. of the Ridgeway. 5. Of Beorh Dune to Wullafes Stane : ' From Barrow Down to Wullaf's Stone.' 6. Of, etc. and lang Cumbes innan Hlydan (read Liden) Aewylmas : ' From Wullaf's Stone along the Combe to the Springs of Lide.' This is the stream from which Liddington gets its name. The springs are on the NE. edge of Liddington village, on the W. by. of Wanborough. The combe runs up SE. from the springs. It is called Estre Lyde Cumb, ' the more easterly Combe of Lide,' in the Liddington charter K.386. Wullaf's stone was probably near where the by. crosses the Ridgeway. 7. Swa and a lang Hlydan (read Liden) innan tho Ham Die : ' So along the Lide to the Dyke of the House.'
