[4] und bakka ‘beneath the slopes’: The farm-name Knarrarstaðir, in the form Knarston, was in use until modern times but became incorporated into Lingro farm, whose name means ‘clearing among the heather’ (Marwick 1952, 99). A few miles to the west of Lingro, the land rises to the kind of heathlands which would be appropriate for fowling.
