Bury (noun)

[Tyrn]

Hi,

Somehow I haven't been able to find it online. I mean places like Banbury Cross and Bury St Edmunds.

There's plenty of online information if you search for "Bury Place Name Meaning."
Bury is an Old English place name, meaning 'fortified enclosure', like a 'fort' or 'stronghold'.

Thanks! So Newbury and Newcastle is much the same thing :o

Fornost Erain is Norbury of the Kings, in the same line.
