Pingewood is a hamlet in the civil parish of Burghfield, to the south of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. It lies to the Southwest of Burghfield Bridge
==Etymology== The name Pingewood is thought to derive from the Common Brittonic words corresponding to modern Welsh penn ("head, peak, tip or end") and coed ("wood"). When Old English became the dominant language in the area, around the fifth century, Old English-speakers added their own descriptive word wood on the end. A survey of Celtic place-names in England, by Richard Coates and Andrew Breeze, marks this interpretation as uncertain, but they do include the name in their gazetteer of Celtic place-names.
