[Footnote 334: At one time I was, on the authority of a Saxon
charter, inclined to believe that this tumulus was the grave of
Cissa, Saxon king of Winchester, who was contemporary with Arthur.
I am now informed by the Rev. Mr. Jones, who has carefully gone
into the matter, that the Charter No. 1094, which is taken from
the 'Codex Winton.' fol. 54, refers to Overton in Hants, and not
to Overton in Wilts, because Tadanliage (Tadley) is mentioned as
part of it. As I cannot dispute the competency of so eminent an
authority on such a question, its identification with the tomb of
King Cissa must for the present be withdrawn, but it by no means
follows in consequence that it may not be of his age.]
