Or, and I am hopeless with etymology, but the Kennet also runs by the roman settlement of Cunetio,
which is situated in the village of Mildenhall, on the other side of Marlborough. Its on getamap su215695, its in a crook of the river with lots of streams, its not too far from the roman road..
Continuously barking dogs strangely enough are a feature of that wretched kennel by the Sanctuary, you can hear them from the river all the time..............
