Coombe Hill, East Sussex → Combe Hill – Reliable sources are divided between "Coombe Hill" and "Combe Hill"; a Google Books search shows a slight preference among recent works for "Combe Hill". In addition, the hill is primarily known for the archaeological site on it, which is almost always spelled "Combe Hill" in the sources that discuss it. Examples include Hadrian Allcroft (1908) Earthwork of England; both excavation reports, in Sussex Archaeological Collections (1950 and 1994), titled "An Excavation at Combe Hill Camp Near Eastbourne August 1949" and "Dr V. Seton Williams' excavations at Combe Hill, 1962, and the role of Neolithic causewayed enclosures in Sussex"; Curwen (1954) The Archaeology of Sussex; Oswald et al.'s The Creation of Monuments (2001), a survey of all British causewayed enclosures, and Whittle et al. (2011) Gathering Time, a survey of radiocarbon dates of Neolithic enclosures. There's currently a redirect at Combe Hill, which has no significant history and I think can be overwritten.

 * Support I'd considered making a request last year when I created the Commons category since the Ordnance Survey uses this spelling.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 09:53, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
