Cp. S561 (L561.0) which also contains bounds of Uffington Back to text

However, cp. 'ðyreses lace' in L561.0, for which LangScape suggests 'þyrs' (giant) as a possibility, especially in this locality; 'the first point here is spelled 'þƿwyrs' at the end of the bounds (for 'þyrs' with confusion with the 'þƿwyrs furh' above?), and may be an interpretation of an earlier 'þyrs' name Back to text
3
But see note at end Back to text
4
This looks like a personal name (a Bultferhþ is cited in PASE); but possible scribal corruption here (too many bulls?) Back to text
5
OE 'dic' here and throughout can mean both 'ditch' and 'dyke' Back to text
6
But cp. 'hodan hlæw' in L561.0 Back to text
7
Some doubt here; cp. 'domferðes hest' in L561.0 Back to text
8
Cp. 'tættaces stan' in L561.0; see also 'tættucan stan' in S317 (L317.0) and 'tættucæn stan' in S575 (L575.0), both bounds of Woolstone from the Old Minster Winchester archive Back to text
9
'uppan dudden byrig . Of dudden byrig' in MS 3 Back to text
10
MS 3 reads 'eceles beorh', and cp. 'eceles beorh' in L561.0; see also 'æceles beorh' in L575.0; this might contain an echo of the element *ecclesia, but could equally well be a personal name or an otherwise unattested term now lost to us Back to text
