Notes

*Napier and Stevenson, pp. 120 n. 3; Grundy, Berks. 1926, pp. 106-8, on bounds; PN Berks., i. 14, ii. 413, iii. 700, 708-9, bounds describe the modern parish of Kingston Bagpuize; Hart, ECNE, p. 27 n. 1, very doubtful authenticity; Finberg 1979, p. 146, on detail of bounds; Gelling, ECTV, no. 115, authentic basis, perhaps error for 976; Keynes 1980, p. 84 n. 1, not authentic but witness-list probably derived from genuine text; Kelly, Abingdon, no. 117, may be contemporary document drawn up at Abingdon; cf. S 829
