Etymology
It is certain that this hill is the same as the scenedun of BCS 125, in the bounds of the Evesham manors. It is mentioned just after Buggildstret , and Buckle Street is a quarter of a mile east of Sheen Hill. This identification makes it clear that we must take the first element as OE sciene, so that the name means 'bright hill.'
