NORSEBURY in Micheldever
... The tendency to invent history may also be seen in 'Norsebury' in Micheldever, another hillfort (902 'naesan byrig' in the time of Edward I 'Nosebury') which is really 'fort at the ness' (later 'nose'), ie: the western end of the little ridge between the valleys of the Dever and Cranbourne, on which the fort is placed west of its highest point
[nothing to do with the Norsemen.]
