Etymology
'Narrow pass', v. dor . The valley from which it is named was formerly on the boundary between the kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria (827, 942A ASC) and subsequently between Db and WRY. Doreheseles is apparently 'hazel-trees belonging to Dore', v. hæsel , and was the former name of the place in which the Abbey of Beauchief was established, cf. the forms for Beauchief supra 208.
