for Abonacis

Just as Sulloniacis is composed of a river-name and the -acu- suffix designating an estate, Abonacis (perhaps Aboniacis) represents an estate on the Avon Abona.

The Roman villa at the Chocolate Factory, Somerdale (ST6569) is appropriately located at a crossing of the Avon by the Roman road Margary 540 (Compton Martin - Willsbridge). This road continues on as Margary 541a past Rangeworthy to Gloucester.
