NETTLECOMBE-TONT, a hill in the centre of Dorset; 2 miles W N W of Milton-Abbas. It has a square, half-ditched, ancient camp of about 20 acres; and it commands a fine view of the surrounding country, including the vale of Blackmore. The name Tont is probably a corruption of The nt, the name of a chief Egyptiandeity, who was worshipped by the Celts as The nt-Ait, "the god of the dead."
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
