Hingston Down is a hill not far from Gunnislake in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It should not be confused with the Hingston Down at , a hill spur about a mile east of the town of Moretonhampstead in the neighbouring county of Devon. ==History== The hill is usually accepted as the place mentioned in an entry in the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' for 835 (corrected by scholars to 838) which says that Egbert king of the West Saxons defeated an army of Vikings and Cornish at the Battle of Hingston Down (''Hengestdun'' = "Stallion Hill").〔See, for example: In the October 2007 issue of ''Cornish World Magazine'', Craig Weatherhill suggested the Hingston Down near Moretonhampstead in Devon as a more likely location. 〕
