Rushock Bog
Rushock Bog was a swamp on The Water in the Westfarthing, south of Needlehole and to the north-west of Hobbiton.
Etymology
According to Tolkien, the name is derived from the plant rush. David Salo, but also Hammond and Scull, suggested an etymology from Old English *Ryscuc/rixuc meaning "rushy place, rush-bed". However Tolkien alternatively suggested a possible compound rush + hassock "coarse grass".
Inspiration
There is a village Rushock in Worcestershire and a Rushock in Herefordshire.
