XIV. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Richard Willis, of Andover, relating to the Course of the Ikeneld-Street
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
I Beg the gentlemen of the Society, and Dr. Stukeley in particular, would observe the Diverticulum Mr. Taylor has shown in his map, or accurate survey of Hampshire, of the Ikeneld street, running from the north-east corner of Sir Philip Meadows' park, which Mr. Taylor calls Chute park to a little house to the S. W. called Scots-Poor. This Diverticulum is called Chute-causeway. Then note what the Dr. says of Chute-causeway, (Itin. Curios. pag. 175.) and they will perceive this is the Ikeneld-street continued from Winchester; consequently, that it does not come from Newbury, as the Doctor supposes: He also says, this is Chute-forest, though vulgarly called Chute-causeway. In this I affirmed he was mistaken, imagining this to be Chute-forest, that Mr. Camden said a causeway ran into, westward from Silchester; but, that that was called the Portway, which Mr. Taylor's map confirms.
