Castlebar Park
‘Bar’ might refer to a castellation manion – or old English for ‘swine pasture’. ‘Marked as Castle Bear Hill (near Castle Bear Common)’ on Rocque's and Gary's maps of 1741-5 and 1786, as ‘Castle Bear Hill (near Castle Hill)’ on the Ordnance Survey map of 1822, and as ‘Castlebar Hill & Park’ on that of 1876-7. They are named from ‘Costiebeare’ 1675, ‘Castle Beare’ 1680, which is from Middle English ‘castel’ 'castle' with an uncertain second element, probably Old English for |- 'woodland pasture'. The 'castle' in question may have been a 'fortified or castellated mansion', perhaps the house mentioned as being in existence here at least as early as 1641.
