Kennet
CUNETIO. At the sources of the river Cunetion (Kennett) stands a town of the same name. The whole neighborhood abounds with the remains of Castles and Mounds. I omit Aubury and Silbury, as they are works of uncertain origin: but at the hill which they call Martinsall hill, a rampart protrudes, which, with its square form, and a coin of Constantine unearthed not so long ago, argues that it was Roman. The neighboring field also bears three pyramidal stones, similar to those prostrate Hermes of the Isurians, whom the Devils Coits [Map]. The common people attribute the Devil to his name of Diabolic Discs.
CUNETIONE. ad fontes fluvii Cunetîonis (Kennett) stat oppidum ejusdem nominis. Vicina regio tota scatet Castrorum & Tumulorum reliquiis. Aubury & Silbury taceo utpote incertæ originis opera: sed ad collem quem vocant Martinsall hill fese prodit vallum, quod & forma quadrata, & Constantini nummus non ita pridem erutus, Romanum fuiise arguit. Ager etiam vicinus oftendit tres lapides pyramidales, Hermis illis Isurianis prorfus similes, quos Devils Coits. de vulgus Diabolo attribuit suo nomine Discorum Diabolicorum.
