Rupe [Roche]

Mora [cf. Woon in Luxulyan/Lanivet]

Rosworoc Bihan [Rosewarrick, in Lanivet]

Tremor [Lanivet]

Henemerdun [Hemerdon, in Plympton St Mary, Devon]

Medwille [cf. Meadwell (3 exx.), Devon]

Retir [Withiel]

William 'the abbot': presumably a surname, rather than a position (unless = William Abbot of Tavistock in 1220-24, George Oliver, Monasticon Dioecesis Exoniensis p.90b). It is unclear whether Rosewarrick was a tenement of Bodwannick manor; Tremore certainly was. See AR/1/330 for Luke de Rosewarrick witnessing a Bodwannick deed in 1317.
