http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getcom.php?id=72 has this and much more so say. "The small parish of Corsley is situated on the Somerset border next to Longleat. It is quite unusual in that it has no village and no centre, only the distinct hamlets of Corsley, three Whitbournes, Longhedge, Corsley Heath, Lane End and Lyes Green, loosely connected by narrow lanes. The name is obscure, but probably comes from the Old British ‘Cors’ meaning reeds or a swamp. Apart from the chalk area around Cley Hill, most of the parish is on Upper Greensand. Two streams flowing west into Somerset trisect it."
