York Historic Environment Record

in 1619 a great stone a the edge in the road was said to mark the site of the former cockermire cross. At the northern end of Deighton township is a small group of 19th- and 20th-century houses known as Crockey Hill. The name derives from 'Cockermire', mentioned in 1619; a 'great stone' in the road, near the parish boundary, was then said to mark the site of the former Cockermire cross.
