CADBURY, NORTH and SOUTH, (Somerset) bet. Queen-Camel and Wincaunton, were anciently the manors of the Courtneys, Moyles, and Botreaux, and came by marriage to the families of Hungerford and Hastings; in the latter of which it continued to the R. of K. Ja. I. when Sir Francis, a son of the E. of Huntington alienated them. In North-Cadbury was formerly a chantry, and here stands Camalet, vulgarly called Cadbury-Castle, situated on the highest ground in the Co. 'Tis a noble fortification of the Romans, which has a woody, but very pleasant prospect, with hills here and there that are steep and lofty. Roman coins have been found here and hereabouts in great plenty. The entrance of the castle is guarded with six or seven ditches; in one of which is a never failing spring, called Arthur's well.
