‘Level field or piece of ground beside or within woodland’, in this case the Wood of Balmerino. Campbell situates Woodflat ‘north-west of Byres, near Barnden’ (1899, 642), hence the above NGR. For some earlier references to Woodflat, going back to 1544, see Campbell 1899, 661 (early forms not given).
