'modern' name (parish; ngr) = old name (hundred) if given
Brige = Brougton ol Bridge or Brage (Thorngate Hundred)
Broughton is not an accepted identification for 'Brige'.
Clausentum (Southampton parish; ) = Clausentum (Waltham Hundred)
Ringwood (Ringwood parish; SU149054) = Ringwoode ol Regnum
Silchester (Silchester parish; SU6261) = Silchester Ol Vindonum

Silchester is also labelled Caer Scoontie.
Winchester (Winchester parish; SU478293) = Venta Belagrum
