A. Uxacona

* Rivet & Smith :

- Itinéraire d'Antonin , 469₇ (Iter II) : UXACONA

DERIVATION

" The name is built up of British *uxo- (earlier *ux-s- from *up-s-) 'high', perhaps by extension 'noble', with suffixes *-aco- (see BRAVONIACUM) and *-ono- (see BREMETENACUM). Hence 'high place', perhaps 'noble place '. The *uxo- element has cognates in Greek Uyos, Uyi,  Uynlos, and in Latin summus; see also Uxela, etc., and Holder III. 59-67 for a rich documentation of it in ancient names. Among Continental place-names containing it are Uxantis > Ouessant (= Ushant; Finistère, France), *Oxone > both Usson and Isson (Puy-de-Dôme, France), and Uxama or Uxamo > Huémoz (Vaud, Switzerland), Exmes (Orne, France) and Osma (Soria, Spain). A Gaulish word containing it has been identified in the graffiti of La Graufesenque: summa uxsedia 'somme la plus élevée, total général' (tally of pots made), and uxsedi, uxsedias, etc., as a type of pot 'à bords plus élevés que les autres' (R. Marichal in REA, LXXVI (1974), 95-96 and 101, following Loth, Thurneysen, Whatmough, etc.).

IDENTIFICATION. The Roman settlement at Red Hill, Lilleshall, Salop (SJ 7210).
