The earlier name for the Corfe River Back to text
2
There appears to be a fault in the text (a section omitted?) Back to text
3
The name survived until recently as Hollish. Cp. 'olle discan' in S632 (L632.0, bounds of Corfe and Blashenwell) and 'holewisken' in S573 (L573.0, bounds of Corfe) Back to text
4
Note that OE 'dic' can mean both 'ditch' and 'dyke' throughout Back to text
5
Cp. 'struthgeardes' in L573.0; this may be an otherwise unattested personal name but is as likely to be a place-name encorporating OE '*strut' (dispute) Back to text
6
Cp. 'sawen' in L632.0 Back to text
7
There is a section of about 25 charaters left blank here Back to text

A section of about 14 charaters left blank here Back to text

Cp. 'scylen ford' in L632.0 Back to text
