Etymology: West Frisian terp village mound, plural terpen , = East Frisian terp (Saterland), North Frisian têrp (Sylt), sarp (Amrum) village < Old Frisian therp , umlaut variant of Old Frisian thorp village: compare thorp n.

An artificial mound or hillock, the site of a prehistoric village, and still in many cases occupied by a village or church, in parts of Friesland below sea-level or liable to inundation. Also applied to similar mounds outside Friesland itself. Also attributive.These terpen, like the Italian terremare or terramares, have in modern times been excavated for the sake of the fertilizing soil which they yield, and more recently for the prehistoric remains found in them; the name has thus passed into archæological use.
