Etymology
'Clearing near Crik -hill', v. hyll , lēah . In view of the fact that the place is just below the top of a lofty Cotswold spur on which there are remains of ancient earthworks, the first el. is doubtless an old Celtic hill-name from Brit *crouco - 'hill, mound' (v. crūc 1 ), as in Churchdown (119infra ).
