Etymology
'Hill', v. cruc 1 , from PrW crüg 'hill', cf. Crook Hill supra 124.It is possible that this Celtic name is comparatively late, possibly belonging to the period when Brit ū had become PrW ǖ (that is, to the early 6th century at the earliest). At least, it suggests a Celtic speaking population in this area at that time. Cf. also Jackson 310ff.
