Old EnglishAI-generated
The name 'Little Punder Cleuch' likely refers to a small valley or ravine. It combines the Old English term 'lȳtel' meaning 'little' with a topographical term possibly derived from Old English 'pund' (enclosure) or a personal name, and the Old Norse word 'klefi' meaning 'hut' or 'cell'.
