_Poghell_ (No. 12. p. 186.).--In Cornwall and Devon there are places
called Poughill or Poghill,--in _Domesday_, Pochelle; and in the
_Taxatio Ecclesiastica_, Pockehulle and Pogheheulle. The etymology of
the word, I take to be merely the addition (as is often found) of the
Anglo-Saxon _hill_, or _hull_, to the old Teutonic word Pock, or Pok, an
eruption or protrusion. In low Latin, Pogetum is colliculus. (See
Ducange.)
