Burcom is prob OE *burg-cyme/*burg-cuma, referring to borough of Grimsby; shown as an island on 19th–E20thC maps, but now a sand bar again.pic.twitter.com/Ng8Y2vrf0x

Of course, prob the most interesting lost island in this area is Ravenserodd, reportedly a 13th–14thC pirate island…https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/701842251836735488 …
Dr Caitlin Green added,
Ravenserodd thrown up by the sea in 13thC & rapidly developed as a 'pirate' town; subsequently destroyed by sea a century later, 1330–62.pic.twitter.com/7y9CEhqOR6

Another 'lost' island in the Lincolnshire Marshes is Conisholme, 'the king's island'; still shown as an island on 17th–18thC maps…pic.twitter.com/gJSq5w2Mal
A lot of the names for those sunken Islands have partial similarities to danish words for Islands and locations
Strong Scandinavian influence on the place and local names of Lincolnshire :)
