Etymology
Argos Hill is Argarshill , Ergershill 1547Ct , Argos Hill 1724 B.The first element is possibly an OE pers. name Eardgār , a regular formation though not actually on record. Miss Holgate suggests that the place might have to do with Gilbert Orgar of Rotherfield (1296 SR). If so there must be some corruption of forms.
