Notes

*Robinson 1919, pp. 8-9, dates it shortly after 798; John 1959, p. 78, authentic; Finberg 1964, p. 22; PN Gloucs., i. 168, 170, identifies Onnandune as Hannington in Dowdeswell; Finberg, ECWM, no. 46, authentic, Onnandune consists of land at Andoversford, Pegglesworth and Upper Dowdeswelle; Sims-Williams 1990, p. 171 n. 128, cannot be dated accurately, not clear whether it belongs to Heathored's or Deneberht's episcopate, although unlikely to be late in the latter's since the grantor appears already in 759 (cf. S 56).
