BURGH-CLERE, (Hampshire) a little to the W. of King's-Clere, stands at the foot of a hill, which has a military camp on
the top of it (such as our ancestors called a Burgh) encompassed with a broad trench, and there being a large prospect of
the country from it, a beacon used to be placed on it in the Saxons time, by reason of the prospect from hence N to
Cuckhamsley-hill E. almost to Reading, and S. all over Hampshire, as far as the Isle of Wight.
