_Mounds, Munts, Mounts._--In the parish register of Maresfield in Sussex,
there is an entry recording the surrender of a house and three acres of
land, called the "Mounds," in 1574, to the use of the parish; and in the
churchwardens' accounts at Rye, about the same time, it is stated that the
church of Rye was entitled to a rent from certain lands called "Mounts." In
Jevington, too, there are lands belonging to the Earl of Liverpool called
Munts or Mounts, but whether at any time belonging to the church, I am
unable to say. Any information as to the meaning of the word, or account of
its occurring elsewhere, will much oblige
