Etymology
'The small enclosure', v. tēag . The manor belonged to the fee of de Folville in the fifteenth century (cf. Ashby Folville Lei). The early field-name Burstall ' medewe l13 (1449) WoCart is recorded for the parish, from burh-stall 'the site of a fortification', cf. Burghsyk ' in neighbouring Barrow f.ns. (b). The 'enclosure' may have once related to this lost fortified site.
