walshie 2,804 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I reckon the 2nd word is forest and is labelling the edge of the forest rather than the house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know the Name of it now but don't wan't to disclose that but it's nothing similar. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did think Forge to be fare and it would make sense. The second word seems to me to end OINE and the first IOE but the O might be a D. Got me hooked.
