To digress slightly, I was interested to read recently that
"In Derbyshire the word 'hlaw' meaning mound, appears in placenames as '-low'. Over 30 of these can be shown to be burial mounds. At least 11 of them have a personal name as the first element, identifying the person who was buried there - for example, Bassa at Baslow, Eatta at Atlow, Hucca at Hucklow and Tidi at Tidelow" (ref: Brian Bates from his book The Real Middle Earth).
He goes on to list Taplow in Buckinghamshire which means Tappa's Mound (he was a warrior) and loads more placenames ending in 'low' in Shropshire.
This doesn't really meet the remit of TMA as the names probably refer to chiefs of early Anglo-Saxon settlements - it is relevant to burial mounds though as I understand that in the first millennium (or Dark Ages) people started re-using ancient burial mounds left by earlier civilisations and building new ones such as Sutton Hoo.
