Etymology
The name seems to be a compound of (ge)hæg and torr, but the site of the place is unknown and any interpretation of the name impossible. It can have no connexion with Haytor in Ilsington supra 476. In the Geld Roll (1084) the Hundred was called Carseuuilla from Abbots- and Kingskerswell infra 514.
