Etymology
Doubtless so named from the burh or fort on Hadrian's Wall which ended here. In view of the variant additions it is worthy of note that a defendant in 1292 (Ass ) said “predicta villa de Burgo vocatur Burg' super Sandes et non iuxta Sandes.” For the Romano-British name (Aballava) see Appendix.
