There two quite clear tents drawn on John Blaeu's map, which signify what?
|
|
tent (Southampton parish)
|

tent (Winchester parish)

Some british tribal areas are labelled on the map, ie:-
THE REGNI
in the south west of the county (above Southampton), and
THE SEGONTIANS
in the north (by Silchester).

| hillforts
|
Very few hills are named on the map. Danebury and Butser hill
are picked out; perhaps because they have hillforts, perhaps
just because they are named on a map being copied.
