Note that Oldberrow itself means 'owl's barrow' or 'hill' Back to text
2
Possibly, with either epenthetic or falsely etymologised 'd' Back to text
3
The grammar here and below - 'beorge' (dative) - suggests that 'on' should be read as 'on' rather than 'to', but cp. 'on fern lege' some way further on in the text Back to text
4
For 'þa<ń> on' (thence to)? Back to text
