SU16 NE4 probable site at SU161684. Colt Hoare in the early 1800's only referenced the early writers and towards the end of that century A.C. Smith was unable to find it. The 'Broadstones' location would have been destroyed by a 1792 (approx.) road widening. The other suggestion is the 'Broken Crosses' area, which is SE of Clatford crossroads. wideford Posted by wideford
