Low Cocklaw
Low Cocklaw is a small hamlet about west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, England. Until the early 1980s it was a working farm but is now entirely residential. It is surrounded by rolling farmland which is dominated by cereal growing. ==Etymology==
Allen Mawer rather tentatively identified the early place-name Creklawe~Crokelawe attested in 1296 with Cocklaw. If so, the initial ''cr''- points to a Cumbric origin: Cumbric ''crug'' 'hill', to which was later added Old English ''hlǣw'' 'hill'. But if this identification is incorrect, ''Cocklaw'' on its own would more obviously be an entirely Old English word, combining ''cocc'' 'cock' and ''hlǣw'' 'hill'.〔Bethany Fox, 'The P-Celtic Place-Names of North-East England and South-East Scotland', The Heroic Age, 10 (2007), http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox.html (appendix at http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox-appendix.html).〕
