Noun
oakenshaw (plural oakenshaws)
- A grove of oaks.
- 1922, A.E Housman, "The Oracles"
- 'Tis mute, the word they went to hear on high Dodona mountain
When winds were in the oakenshaws and all the cauldrons tolled,
And mute's the midland navel-stone beside the singing fountain,
And echoes list to silence now where gods told lies of old.
