Impstone Plantation
Early-attested site in the Parish of Aldermaston
Etymology
Impstone Plantation, cf. Merestone voc ' Impstone 1552LRMB , Nimph Stone 1761 Rocque, Nymph Stone 1790 Pride, Imp or Nymph Stone 1846 Snare. The stone is on the Roman road west of Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum), and may be a Roman milestone on which the letters IMP were visible at the beginning of the inscription. N- in the variant form may be from atten , or due to association with the word nymph . In VCH i, 200 n. 5, Haverfield states that there is no sign of any inscription now, but that the shape is not unlike that of a fragment of a Roman milestone. Merestone refers to the position on the county boundary, v. (ge)mǣre, stān .
