KINGLY-BOTTOM, a narrow vale in West Stoke parish, Sussex; under Bow Hill, 4 miles NW of Chichester. It is picturesquely wooded; and it is said to have got its name from a slaughter of kings or leaders of invading Danes, in a battle with them by the men of Chichester, about the year 900. Four large barrows on its N hill-flank are thought to mark the graves of the slain kings; but two of them were opened in 1853, and were not found to contain any marked relic. Some circular excavations are on the E side; and have been regarded as indications of an ancient British village.
