It would also be permissible to interpret Hackney as Oaken Island, in which light it may be connoted with Glastonbury, the word _glaston_ being generally supposed to be _glasten_, the British for oak. Glastonbury, the celebrated Avalon, Apple Island, Apollo Island, or Isle of Rest, was a world-famous "Mount Pleasant," and on its most elevated height there stands St. Michael's Tower. Glastonbury itself,[306] "its two streets forming a perfect cross," is almost engirdled by a little river named the _Brue_. The French town _Bray_ is in the so-called Santerre or Holy-land district: the remains of a megalithic _santerre_, _saintuarie_ or sanctuary are still standing at Abury or Aubury in Wiltshire, and we may equate this place-name with _abri_, a generic term in French, "origin unknown," for _sanctuary_ or refuge. Near Bray, Santerre, is Auber's Ridge, which may be connoted with Aubrey Walk, the highest spot in Kensington, and it would seem that _Abury's_, _abris_, or "Mount Pleasants" were once plentiful in the bundle of communities, townships, parishes, and lordships which have now merged into the Greater London: Ebury Square in the South-West may mark one, and Highbury in the North, with its neighbouring "Mount Pleasant," another. The immortal Mount Pleasant of the Muses was named Helicon, and from here sprang the celebrated fountains Aganippe and Hippocrene. At Holywell in Wales there is a village called Halkin lying at the foot of a hill named Helygen: there is a Heligan Hill in Cornwall, and a river Olcan in Hereford: there is an Alconbury in Hunts, and an Elkington (Domesday Alchinton) at Louth. An Elk is a gigantic buck whose radiating antlers are so fern-like that a genus has appropriately been designated the Elk fern. Ilkley in Yorkshire is thought to be the Olicana of Ptolemy, and there is standing to-day at Ramsgate a Holy Cone or Helicon modernised into "Hallicondane". The _dane_ here probably implies a _dun_ or hill-fort, and the _Hallicon_ itself consists of a peak crossed by four roads.[307] This Ramsgate Hallicondane, which stands by Allington Park, may have been a _dun_ of the Elle or Elf King: in France Hellequin is associated with Columbine, and the little figure labelled CUIN (_infra_, p. 397 Fig. 336), may be identified with this virgin. The Alcantara district to which this Cuin coin has been attributed was, it may safely be assumed, a _tara_, _tre_, or _troy_ of Alcan. On the top of Tory Hill in Kilkenny, _i.e._, _Kenny's Church_, stood a pagan altar: the more famous Tara or Temair is associated primarily with a "son of Ollcain"; it is said next to have passed into the possession of a certain Cain, and to have been known as _Druim Cain_ or "Cain's Ridge".[308]
