Weedon Mound

Well, it's how we learned the guitar - that twangy surf sound had a minor renaissance with Man or Astroman (and others) a couple of years back. Dick Dale still rules the waves ...

'Weedon' Hill fails as it is clearly another version of 'Waden'.

'Wooden' seems a better derivation than a real name or 'Woden'.

Weedon in Buckinghamshire acc. to "The Origin of English Placenames" is weoh '(shrine containing) idol' + dun 'hill'. Wuotan may have been a god of (storm)winds, but this is no Windmill Hill ;-)
