- Note Fairbourne Lake and Fairbournes Farm south-east of Michelmersh; cp. 'feora burnan' in S857 (L857.0,bounds of Michelmersh) and 'fear burnan' in S381 (L381.2, bounds of land in Ampfield), both from the Old Minster Winchester archive Back to text
- 2
- Perhaps with the same British origin as the river-names Cary/Carey in Somerset and Devon; but note that there is a 'cærs wylle' in L857.0) for which this may be a misreading Back to text
- 3
- Cp. 'grindan broc' in S1277 (L1277.0, bounds of Nursling) in the Old Minster Winchester archive which shares some points in common; possibly a stream-name *grinda (grinder) based on the verb grindan (to grind) or a word related to *grendel (gravelly stream) Back to text
- 4
- Cp. 'stemnes peð' in L1277.0 Back to text
- 5
- Perhaps for 'ris' (rush) Back to text
- 6
- Reading 'oue' as a misreading of 'oþ' Back to text
- 7
- Cp. 'boddan stan' in L1277.0, which would appear to rule out 'boda' (messenger) or the attested personal name 'Boda', but it may well be an unattested personal name (Bodda) Back to text
- 8
- Possibly for 'hedge', but this text is too corrupt to make much more than stabs at sense in places Back to text
