Bastard Lovaton, Meavy, Devon, England
Notes:
I have not found Bastard Lovaton on any map. It is the name given on the 1841 census for where George Moses, farmer, and his family were living. The tithe apportionment records for Meavy, drawn up in 1839, show George as having land at Higher Lovaton, with one acre shown simply as at Lovaton (all references for the tithes are to Lovaton, Higher Lovaton or Lower Lovaton). There were several farms at Higher Lovaton; I guess that Bastard Lovaton was used to distinguish the one George Moses was at from the others.
It is an interesting name: the Domesday Book shows that in 1086 Meavy was held as several manors; Alwin held 1 virgate of Roger Bastard - this has been identified as Lovaton in Meavy [ref.], so the name Bastard Lovaton could be a very old one.
