Etymology
Prospect Hill may be Trendel 1179 (early 13th) Thame, Trindhulle c. 1197 (c. 1200) Thame. It is impossible to be certain, however, whether or not these two forms represent different names. The earlier looks like OE trendel , 'circle,' and the later, if it be not a corruption of the earlier, is composed of hyll and the adjective *trind , 'round,' assumed by Ekwall (DEPN) as the first element of Tirley Gl, to which name there are a number of parallels in the charters.
