EDDINGTON, a tything, joint with Hidden, in the parish of HUNGERFORD, hundred of KINTBURY-EAGLE, county of BERKS, 1 mile (N. E. byK) from Hungcrford, containing 421 inhabitants. It is most probable that this was the Ethandune of the Saxon Chronicle, whore Alfred is recorded to have obtained a decisive victory over the Danes, in 878, though Camden and others have fixed the scene of that contest at Eddington, near Westbury, in Wiltshire. Roman moulds, for coining, some of them enclosing the metal itself, have been found hero, and are deposited in the Ashmolean. Museum; they have the impressions only of Severus and Caracalla, and their empresses, Julia and Plantilla. Near the spot was also discovered a tesselated pavement.
