Bucklebury
Bucklebury was the chief village of Buckland, lying in the shadow of Buck Hill, seat of the Master of Buckland. It was built about a mile east of the banks of the River Brandywine.
The Bucklebury Ferry was a passage across the Brandywine between Bucklebury and the Marish.
Etymology
The name means Buck-burg, or Buck-town (buck always means male goat or deer).
Tolkien notes that it's "Bucklebury" rather than plain "Buckbury" because the word is either an alteration of earlier Bucken-bury (Bucken being archaic plural) or a reduction of Buckland.
Based on this, David Salo has suggested that Bucklebury represents a possible Old Hobbitish form *Buccanburh "Bucca's burg".
