Abstract:		 Analysis of the charter evidence is used to disclose common characteristics relating to the early use and formation of these names, as well as the social and physical landscape in which they were created. Historical interpretation of the meaning of lēah are reviewed and the etymology examined. It is conjectured that the term refers to a form of wood pasture. The distribution of Wiltshire lēah names are also considered with concentrations in some of the medieval forests. It is suggested that a correlation exists between the distribution of soil type and lēah features, with lēahs being particularly common heavy clay soils and rare on the chalk.
