(1329), the tolls amounted to only 3s. 6d. yearly.* Its present state is a village with a handsome church, which the present Rector has admirably restored, the parish in extent contains about 1840 acres, and 488 inhabitants, the turnpike road from Banbury to Daventry passes through the centre of it, which as before stated, dates its rise from the Saxon period, the British and Roman remains being to the right and left of the present scite. In a garden on the right of the entrance of the village.... from Daventry is a tumulus of considerable size. Mr. Baker cut through it with a view to ascertain its contents, which he states is a simple rampart of adventitious earth.
The largest fortified camp or station in this county, if not the most extensive in Britain, is at Borough Hill, near Daventry, which incloses an area of 150 acres. Mr. Baker, the eminent historian of this county, states that he has repeatedly visited this spot, and his observations, combined with the statements of the Roman historians* lead him to determine that it was originally a small but very strong British camp,f he deduces its name also from the word Ben or Pen, a British term for the summit of a hill ; and Went or Gtvent, a city or chief town; Latinized by the Romans into Venta, as Venta Bel- garum (Winchester), Venta Icenorum, (Castor near Norwich, &c.) The most ancient or the British station was on the brow of the hill nearly at its northern boundary, which was fortified by a double rampart, and fosse of great depth.
