Spigot Well Hill

hill or mountain · North Yorkshire

Old EnglishAI-generated

This name likely combines the Old English 'spic' meaning 'fat' or 'grease' (possibly referring to a marshy area) with 'geat' meaning 'gate' or 'opening'. Alternatively, 'spigot' could refer to a spring. 'Well' reinforces the water association.
