“Wylberhtes Stan” and the Falestone, a Walk near Everleigh Plus a Curious Hare and a Flint Arrowhead

The walk starts near Everleigh, Wiltshire and passes through Collingbourne along the old Marlborough road which is considered possibly a Roman road from Salisbury to Cunetio. I start the video with a curious hare and the move on to Hoces Byrigels which means Hook’s Burials and then I find a flint arrowhead.

I am searching for Wylberhtes Stan mentioned in a Saxon charter and the Falestone which is mentioned in the perambulations of the forest of Chute and a seventeenth century map. This is how I got on.

These history walk videos are about the English landscape in and around the south west of England (though I make the odd foray into Wales). I often use ancient charters (such as Saxon charters) to give me insight into the way the landscape was viewed in the past.

But it is not the Saxons that interest me the most (though they do) but the prehistoric world and its ancient monuments, trackways and ditches.
