The unusual name of the hamlet dates back at least 1,000 years to Anglo-Saxon times. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Scatera or Scetra, a Norman French rendering of an Old English name derived from the word scite, meaning dung. This word became schitte in Middle English and shit in modern English.[4] The name alludes to the stream that bisects the hamlet, which appears to have been called the Shiter or Shitter, or “brook used as a privy”.[5] The place-name therefore means something along the lines of “farmstead on the stream used as an open sewer”.
Bonus:
The place-name Penistone is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Pengeston(e) and Pangeston; later sources record it as Peningston.[2] It may mean “the farmstead at the hill called Penning”, in reference to the high ridge immediately south of the town. This combines the Brittonic word penn (meaning a head, end, or height) with the Old English suffix ing and the word tun (meaning a farmstead or village).[3]
Penistone has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place-names because it contains the letter sequence “penis”;[4][5] however, those initial five letters are not pronounced like the name of the body part.
