Weycock Hill
Early-attested site in the Parish of Waltham St Lawrence
Etymology
Weycock Hill, cf. (to ) weg cocce 940 (c. 1240) BCS 762, Little Weacocke 17thPubLib (Clayton ), Weycock 1711 Hearne, Waycoak Field 1761 Rocque, Waycock Field 1790 Pride, 1846 Snare. The els. are weg 'way', and cocc 1 'hillock'. The point mentioned in the charter bounds (for which v. Pt 3) is on the west boundary of Waltham St Lawrence. There is no sharp ascent here, and it seems possible that cocc refers to some artificial feature, such as a tumulus, which, if it were situated by the wayside, would be a likely thing to be mentioned in charter bounds.
