of a hamlet (or, since it has a church, a village) wrongly called Sissinghurst, a name which it has borrowed from the castle a mile or so away.

HLIFGESELLA.
   F. reports a den of Little Chart named Lewcell as being in Biddenden, and K.PN. not only allows that the name may well be a late form of Hlifgesella but tentatively identifies it with Newcastle Farm, a view that Wallenberg subsequently withdrew (Place Names of Kent). We have therefore to turn to the M.R. to see what is to be found under the heading Lewcell. It is to be remembered that 1620 is a very recent date in the life of a manor and that many tenancies must be expected to have fallen out in the course of preceding years. Certainly, what we have left gives little more than hints. One holding bounds towards the south to a wood called The Brookes which is of recent years shown on the 6 inch map as The Brogues. This tells the corner of Biddenden in which Lewcell existed. The only other hint is little more than a suspicion. There is a holding which has on the south a wood of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, and another has on the south east a wood called Bigg Wood. I suggest that the wood called Priory Wood and sold in 1917 as "Priory alias Beak Wood" is just the Bigg Wood gone wrong and included in that of the Dean and Chapter who certainly took over much land from the Priory at the Dissolution of the monasteries. This wood is shown on the map and gives

an east boundary to all we know of the site of Lewcell alias Hlifgesella.

HEORATLEAG.
   This is generally accepted as Hartley in Cranbrook. M.R. shows that it was in Cranbrook and the identification may therefore be accepted without hesitation.

TILGESELTHA.
   This name does not occur in M.R. and K.PN. mentions High Tilt in Cranbrook (formerly Tilthe) and Tilt's Farm in Boughton Monchelsea (also Tilthe in times past) without any firm identification. High Tilt lies south east of Milkhouse alias Cadaca Hrycg and may well have been continuous with it so that the two dens came to be regarded as one, which would account for the absence of the name Tilgeseltha from the M.R. This, however, is all speculation, and further evidence must be awaited before certainty is arrived at. Such evidence might be found in the Tithe Map, a great source of old field names derived from very high antiquity.

MONEKENESNOD.
   This is the name of a den recorded by F. The name should mean "The nun's wood" but F. does not identify it and I can do no better
