1
This boundary clause is evidently a reworking into Latin of an earlier (now lost) Old English text Back to text
2
Cp. 'primwaldes putte' in S1577 (L1577.1, bounds of Brokenborough); this appears to be a personal name, although the first theme 'Prim-' is not otherwise attested Back to text
3
'Braydon' is in origin a wood name of apparently pre-English origin (PNWilts, p. 11) Back to text
4
Cp. 'wrthwelane' in S1579 (L1579.0, bounds of Chelworth); this may contain 'worth', 'well' and 'lane', but this itself may be a rationalisation of an earlier now mangled 'wyrtwalan' (woodbank) Back to text
5
The name survives in the field-name Hickmoor Back to text
6
Possibly a misreading of the genitive singular of the attested female personal name 'Ealhswiþ' Back to text
7
Note that OE 'dic' and Latin 'fossatum' can mean both 'dyke' as well as 'ditch' Back to text
8
Cp. 'Poham lege' in S1577 (L1577.1, bounds of Brokenborough, Wilts.) and 'pohe leye' in S1584 (L1584.0, bounds of Murcott in Crudwell); this may relate to OE 'pohha' in some topographical or other extented sense or represent an otherwise unrecorded personal name Back to text
9
The first element is the same as that found in Crudwell and is possibly the attested personal name Creoda, but this etymology is not secure Back to text
10
Cp. 'loco qui appellatur sunder' in S1579 (L1579.0, bounds of Chelworth); 'hamm' frequently refers to land lying within a stream bend Back to text
