Probably a stream name related to the name Blashenwell (these are the bounds of Corfe and Blashenwell) Back to text
4
Note that OE 'dic' can mean both 'ditch' and 'dyke' throughout Back to text
5
Cp. 'safan' in L534.0 Back to text
6
Either 'of' in error for 'on' or there is a section omitted here Back to text
