THE SAXON LAND CHARTERS OF WILTSHIRE. I ~J\
It is not easy to determine this landmark. The W. bend
of the by. noted in relation to the last landmark, is pointing
to a ridge between two depressions at the foot of the down.
This ridge must be the Black Hill.
An. Thonne forth ofer Here Path : ' Then on over the
Highway.'
Β17. Thonon of, etc. north to Hearpathe : ' Then from
Black Hill north to the Highway.'
This is the main road to Wilton which the by. crosses
at Cribbage Hut (OM6) on the W. by. of Sutton. 1
Ai2. Thaet on Sticelan Path: 'Then to the Steep
Path.'
This path is probably represented at the present day by
the track which goes N. from the Wilton road along the
W. by. of Sutton.
Β18. Of, etc. on tha Westran Dune westwerde : ' From
the Highway to the west side of the Western Down.'
This must be the high land N. of the Wilton road, on
the by. W. of Sutton.
A13. On Wadding Gerstun easte weardne : 'To the
east side of the Grass Croft of the Waddings.'
This may be part of the landmark A12, i.e. the meaning
of the landmark may be that the steep path led up to the
grass croft. At any rate it must have been on the W. by.
of Sutton a few furlongs N. of the Wilton road.
A14. Thaet forth ofer Chealf Hylle midde zvearde :
' Then on over (the middle of ?) Calf Hill.'
Β19. Of, etc. on Chealf Hylle middewerde: ' From the
Down to the middle of (?) Calf Hill.'
This is the hill which projects N. like a promontory
about i m. W. of the church at Sutton Mandeville.
A15. Thonne on Wulf Cumb ufeweardne ·. 'Then to
Wolf Combe from its upper side.'
B20. Thonne of, etc. on Wulf hylle (read eumbe) 2
middewerde.
The Wolf combe is the small combe which runs S.
from Sutton Row (OMi).
A16. Swa ihurh Dellwuda on Land Seor Ac ·. 'So
through Quarry Wood to Boundary Oak.'

vol. Ixxv, 1918, ' Ancient Highways of
Wilts.' road 58, p. 108.
2 There is no real doubt that the copyist
of the charter has by an error repeated the
' byll' of the previous landmark.
