Etymology
Colmanora (lost), colmanora n.d. (c. 1200) BCS 906, (on ) Colmenoran 985 (c. 1240) KCD 1283. As pointed out by Grundy (ArchJ 28) this was the name of the N. and N.W. slope of the W. end of Boar's Hill.Grundy also suggested (ArchJ 31) that the first el. was 'charcoal- burner', and this is plausible, although the compound *col-man is not recorded in OE. The second el. is ōra 'slope'. The forms are wrongly cited under Cumnor in DEPN.
