Historical Forms
- Cragdal 1218 FF
- Crakedale 1307 Ch
Etymology
ME crag (from Ir creag , Ekwall) 'crag, rock' and dæl. The second spelling shows influence of ME krake in such p.n.'s as Crakehall. The valley is rocky and scarred. It is possible however that the forms should be taken the other way round, and that the true meaning is 'Kraki's valley,' with later voicing of k to g before d .
