- Note that OE 'dic' can mean both 'ditch' and 'dyke' Back to text

- There may well be a error in the text here; grammatically, the 'on' should translate as 'to', making the manuscript's '<ŧ>is' an error for 'þæt' - 'thus to fortification linches'; alternatively, this refers to a gap 'in' the banks, but here we would have to emend 'hlinceas' to 'hlincum'/'hlincean' Back to text
