Β19. Of, etc. on thonemidmestanHryeg on East Cumbum :
' From the Stone on the Middle Ridge (at ?) East Combe.'
C19. Same as B19.
This is evidently the ridge on the E. by. about m. NE.
of Stanton village. East Combe is probably the combe to
the W. of the ridge.
A13. Thonan to Eas(t) More to thare Burgilsan : 'Then

Β 20. Thonon on East Mores Heafod to tham Haethenan
Byrgelse : ' Then to the Head of the East Marsh to the
Heathen Burialplace.'
C20. Same as B20.
This marsh must have been near the source of that stream
which runs down the E. by. from near Honey Street (OMi),
and the heathen burialplace must have been there also.
A14. Thome thonan to Brom Lace : ' Then to the

C12. Same as B21.
This is the brook which is the S. part of the E. by., S. of

partly in that of Bremhill Wood, the small wood (OM6) a
furlong W. of Honey Street Farm (OMi).
A15. And lang Broces aet Eddes Ford: 'Along the
Brook to (Ed's ?) Ford.'
A16. From, etc. up zueard and lang Broces thaet eft to

then once more to Hollow Spring.'
B22. Thonne andlang streames eft on Holen Wylle·.
' Then along stream once more to Hollow Spring.'
C22. Same as B22.
A gives more landmarks than the other two surveys.
The by. goes down Broom Brook to join the big brook
which runs along the N. edge of Beechingstoke village, the
Hringburna of the Beechingstoke charter B.769. Probably
the ford was at Beechingstoke. For the hollow spring
see 1.
1 Mor means * wet ground near a stream.' Berkshire field-names, in which it is very
' Moor' is always used in that sense in common.
