SWINFORD-KING'S, (Staffordshire) on the N. side of Stourbridge, bel. anciently to the Someries, and then went by marriage
to the Suttons; from which family it passed, as Swindon did. Upon Ashwood-Heath in this p. is a large intrenchment,
supposed to have been Roman; and at Barrow-Hill are 2 uniform barrows, all rock, which the learned Dr. Plot thinks
nevertheless to have been earth at first, and petrified by subterraneous kindlings of bituminous sulphur. In the
neighbourhood are coal-pits.
