Comments:

Ekwall, D.E.P.N., possibly Huntington near Hereford (q.v.); Finberg, ECWM, no. 29, authentic, dates c. 770, suggests that Huntena tun lay in Gloucs., near Huntingford in Tortworth, perhaps at Charfield; Scharer 1982, p. 257, probably genuine; Abels 1988, pp. 215-16 n. 70; Foot 2000, II. 40; Whybra 1990, p. 44
