Dear List,
I have looked through the 'Oxford Names Companion' and 'The Place-Names of Devon' for information on the above two names, but have drawn something of a blank.
Both names appear to have had some past association with mining in Combe Martin, North Devon. The only thing that they seem to have in common is that both are situated on a ridge of land. Has anyone come across similar names? I understand that Sk is probably of Cornish/Breton origin.
Kindest regards,
Trevor
