BoW p. 95 states: "Salisbury has hundreds held by Clarence (the Downs), the Marche (Mere), Bishop of Venta (Stowford), Thornbush Castle (Swans), and Caercolun (Studfold)."

Of these hundreds, two don't appear in the list on p. 12: The downs and Stowford.
The downs is probably Hillfarm, held by the Duke of Glevum (see p. 17). Stowford is not referenced anywhere else.

Stowford is the historical hundred surrounding the upper portion of the River Ebble. In BoW, that area is referred to as Chalkhill Hundred and is held, as you've noted, by the Bishop of Venta.

Taliesin, that'll be very handy for my group moving forward. I'm looking forward to seeing the results!

Oops, some updating errors there

Yes, you are correct.
"The Downs" should say "Hillfarm." I see the hundred name is not in the list of Place Names either.
"Stowford" should say"Chalkhill." It too ought to be in the Place Names chapter.

Okay, I can find a "Stowford Hundred" in Domesday, in Wiltshire.

However, I can find no hundred called "The Downs". Gonna need you to dig a little deeper. My guess is "The Downs" was your original PNS name for a hundred, but you later changed it to "Hillfarm". So I don't know which historic hundred and county (presumably Wiltshire) to link it to.

Best,

"The Downs" is Hillfarm Hundred, Salisbury: Downton, Wiltshire

Stowford Hundred is Chalkhill Hundred, Salisbury: Chalke, Wiltshire

These corrections have been made and will appear in v1.2.
