Can the word "offal" occur in a place-name? The following are 13th-century records of a place in Newbourne, Suffolk: Loffal, Le Offal x3, Offal x3, Offalhel. It is described in the documents as a marsh, but the last place is a hill. The first sense in OED is `that which falls or is thrown off from some process, as husks from milling grain, chips from dressing wood, etc.; residue or waste products', which is reasonably plausible as a minor name, but are there other examples?
