is so named 1797EnclA , Shill Farm 1797 Davis : Shield Ford and Hedge and Shield-hill are also mentioned in the EnclA , and Shield Foord appears 1685(c. 1700) BodlT . These names probably contain a corruption of the name of Shill Brook , which is itself probably a back - formation from Shilton 328 – 9 : as the brook is called Sheilds brooke 1685 (c. 1700)BodlT , the corruption is evidently fairly old .
