==Origin of the name== Regarding the origin of the name, Professor Eilert Ekwall, in his 1922 The Place-names of Lancashire, writes: ".. (caput de) Pirloc 1228 C1R, Perlak 1228 WhC 371, Pireloke 1338 LPR, Pyrelok pyke c 1350 ib. The name cannot mean "pear orchard" as Wyld suggests. But the etymology may be correct with a slight amendment. O.E. loc means "fold for sheep or goats." A sheep fold at which grew a peartree (O.E. pyrige) may very well have been at the foot of or on the slope of the hill; this may have been called Parlick (Pirloc) and have given the hill its name. For a probable earlier name see under Core, p. 143."
