WEALD, or WILD, (Sussex and Kent) a woody tract on the S. parts of them, extending from Winchelsea to the top of Riverhill, towards Tunbridge, which in the summer is a perfect garden, but in the winter unpleasant, by reason of its clay soil, and unhealthy, especially in the swampy low-lands near the sea. This tract is reckoned by Camden 120 m. in length, and 30 m. in breadth.
