Etymology
Adchester Wd, Hatchesters 1762EnclA , cf. ArchJ 23 (1917) p. 31: 'Achester Camp—Hinton Waldrist. About ¼ mile east of the turn to Hinton Waldrist, on the road from Faringdon to Oxford, is the small rectangular earthwork, called Achester.' No earthwork is marked on the O.S. maps, but a similar description to that in ArchJ is given in VCH i, p. 264. The second el. is probably ceaster.
