Martock Hundred
Martock Hundred is one of the hundreds in Somerset. It is situated towards the south-east of the county, and is bounded to the north by Somerton Hundred; to the east by Tintinhull Hundred; to the south by South Petherton Hundred; and to the west by Kingsbury and Pitney Hundreds.
It is conterminous with the ancient parish of Martock.[1] The northern boundary is formed by the River Ivel; and the southern boundary the Fosse Way.[2] It originated in a Royal estate which existed before the Norman conquest.[3]
The ancient Hundred of Martock is formed in the shape of a trapezoidal rectangle, the north side bounded by the River Ivel (Yeo) and the south side bounded by the Fosse Way (A303).
