Extract

Dr. Stukeley, in his seventh Iter, speaking of a hill a little above Ambrosbury, says, “The Icening-street runs between “this hill and the Bourn river coming from Newbury, as I sup- “pose, through Chute forest, vulgarly called Chute Cause-way, “where, at Lurgishall, it makes a fine terras-walk in the garden “of Sir Philip Meadows; then passes the Bourn river about Tud-“worth, and, so by this place, to the eastern gate of Old Sarum, “the Roman Sorbiodunum.”
