* Rivet & Smith : 

- Ptolemy, II,3,2 : Erakleous Akron ( = HERCULIS PROMONTORIUM)

"Presumably, like other names on the coast important to seafarers, this was assigned by roman or Greek sailors. The name of Hercules is frequent in such names in the ancient world : see indexes to Miller (1916), texts of Pliny, etc. Such places in Britain presumably had native names, not know to us in this case".

NB JCE : Erakleous Akron = Erakleous Akron
