[630.] There are undoubtedly manors and yard-lands in some districts, but of later and English introduction.
[631.] The 'one-field system 'of permanent arable must not be confused with the improvement of the early Welsh and Irish 'co-aration of the waste,' by which the land was cropped perhaps two or three or four years before it was left to go back into grass. This resembles the German Feldgraswirthschaft and not the German one-field system.

[637.] Compare supra, p. 161: the change of 'Hisse-burn' or 'Icenan-burn' into 'Itchin River,' and of 'æt Icceburn' into 'Ticceburn,' and 'Titchbourne.' May not Icknild Way, or 'Icenan-hild-wæg,' mean highway 'by the streams,' and Ricknild Way mean highway 'by the ridge'? See map, supra, ch. v., s. v. They are sometimes parallel as an upper and lower road.

[639.] In Hampshire the old Celtic or Belgic names of rivers in many cases gave their names to places upon them. The 'Itchin' to Itchin Stoke, Itchin Abbas, Itchbourne, &c. The 'Meona' (Cod. Dip. clviii.) to Meon Stoke, East and West Meon, &c. The 'Candefer' (Cod. Dip. mcccix.) to three 'Candovers.' So also the Tarrant gives its names to several places.
