Dear Keith,
I make that:
Hampshire: Freshwater, Hinton Admiral, Hurn, Milford, Mudeford and Somerford and Street in Christchurch
Dorset: Barnsley in Wimborne Minster and Eastington in Worth Matravers
It looks as if
Compes/Compis was still being understood as a vocabulary word at the time of the documents.
There’s a fieldname Camps in Aveton Gifford (http://www.ag-project.co.uk/107/the-1842-tithe-map)

Subject: comp
I have noted these Hampshire and Dorset field-names in the Christchurch Priory Cartulary (ed. Hanna 2007). The element
comp (or camp) appears to be that much written about by Gelling (e.g. Signposts 75ff), but is assumed by her to occur mostly in Kent and Sussex, and is not supposed to be so common. Is this the same word? It does not seem to be mentioned
by Fägersten in his Dorset book, and of course we have no element list yet for PN Do. In any case, it seems that it must have some specialized meaning, as these names occur in list of other fields which are not
comps.
