N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Apparently Crox Bottoms is in the Hartcliffe area on SW edge of Bristol, so Crox Tops may be the highly-quarried area towards Dundry

Crox Top seems only to figure on the older OS 25000 map where it appears as a cluster of buildings, perhaps a farm or small holding. Remarkably there's also a photograph of it!

Thanks - how did you find that.... Crox Top seems to have vanished under Hengrove Way, ST582686
