Etymology
'Three hills', v. prēo (þrī masc.), beorg . Thrybergh stands in a depression between three hills. McClure 109 has suggested from its name that the Roman Trimontium (occurring next to Eburocaslum or York in the Ravenna geographer and also meaning 'three hills') might be identical with Thrybergh, which is on the main road from Doncaster to Rotherham and Templeborough; there is no other supporting evidence.
