Etymology
Ekwall (DEPN) suggests 'sand-stream ford', with a compound of sand and w(i)ella as first el. Skeat (49) suggests 'Sandwulf's ford', but the element Sand - is not found in OE pers.ns., and Ekwall's etymology is more in accordance with the forms. These are too late for any degree of certainty. 'Sand-hill ford', v. hyll , is also possible. The ford over the R. Enborne is marked on the 6″ map.
