Snye is a River channel

1 Another theory relates to cricket where the umpire calls 'stumps' for the end of play for the day. Stumps are also referred to as 'sticks' sounding Styx.

Depending on other clues I probably think Snye fits the clue best.

It was 'channel' I was trying to work in - styx/sticks could mean river/close but leaves channel out.

Only a guess mind you.
