I want to thank very much all of you who responded my query. It would appear that Crundale, PEM, does fit in after all with Crundale, KEN, and Crondall, HAM, and other locations where the term has been applied to early landscape features and/or quarrying operations. And, to top it all off, all the local inhabitants in each place still pronounce it 'crundl'! This does lead to additional questions: What was quarried in or near Crundale, PEM? Is it still being quarried? It seems unlikely that it's the Cretaceous chalk as in HAM and KEN. How about limestone? Again, many thanks. Herb Crandell Michigan, USA
