Etymology
This is OE bærlic weg , 'road along which barley was carted' (PN BedsHu 52 and Anderson 137). The meeting-place was near Barley Leys infra 212. According to Dugdale (487) “the Hundred took its name from a plot of ground about eight yards square, now inclosed with a Hedge, and situate upon the top of a Hill in the way between Haseler and Binton and about half a mile from Temple Grafton , which is reputed to be the very place where these three Parishes do meet.” This points to the meeting-place being actually on the crest of Haselor Hill. For Wapentac , v. Introd. xxiv, n. The Hundred was formed in the 12th century by the union of the two DB Hundreds of Ferncumbe and Pathlow.
