Etymology
'Calf-hill' v. cealf , hoh . The wood is on the side of a hill but a concave one rather than a convex one such as is usually called a hoh . There is a hoh in the usual sense just to the north-west of the wood and one cannot of course be sure from exactly which spot the wood took its name.
