THE SAXON LAND CHARTERS OF WILTSHIRE. I ~J\
This is the ridge on the W. by. about 5 fur. ESE. of
Overtown (OMi).
7. Thame to Lake atte than Litel Linche : ' Then to
the (slow flowing) Stream at the Little Lynch.'
This is the Symbroe of the previous Badbury charter,
i.e. the stream flowing E. and W. along the N. side of the
NW. part of Burderop Wood (OMi).
8. Thanne endelanglake to Dorternebrok. 1
" Then along the (slow flowing) Stream to Dorternbrook."
This is the brook mentioned, as has been already said,
in the Wanborough, Liddington, and Badbury charter^.
It flows nowadays from Coate reservoir along the whole of
the N. part of the W. by. of Chisledon.
9. Thanne endelang Brokes on the Fif Acres westward ·.
' Then along the Brook to the west side of the Five Strips
of Ploughland.'
These strips of ploughland must have been at the extreme
N. end of the parish of Chisledon, a little more than $ m.
N. of Upper Snodshill (OMi).
10. Thanen endlang thare Acre on the Dich : ' Then
along the Strip of Ploughland to the Dyke.'
This dyke must have run along the N. part of the E. by.
of Chisledon.
11. O/, etc. est on than Eldene Heghewey : ' From the
Dyke to the Old Hay Way.'
The fact that the by. is described as going E. at this
point shows that the hay way was where the by. makes a
short turn E. 3 fur. N. by E. of Upper Snodshill (OMi).
12. Thanene endlangweyes on tha Fens tones hi este the
Weye : ' Then along the Way to the Ten Stones east of the
Way.'
It is evident that this hay way led S. along the E. by.
The ' mead ' of the land-unit would naturally lie on this
low-lying land in the N. part of the parish ; and hence the
name of the way.
By dead reckoning from the · neighbouring landmarks
the ten stones must have been on the by. near Liddington
Wick (OMi).
13. Thanen on Crowenthornisstibbe: 'Then to Crow
Thorn Stump.'
