Full Description
Evidence for the shrunken village of Kniveton, suggested by the building platforms, field boundaries and hollow ways hereabouts. (1)
In the western third of the field is ridge and furrow, with 4-6m inter-ridge distances. Half way along the southern edge of the field is what appears to be some form of enclosure. To the east of this the field drops down and there are the remains of at least 3 house platforms. Running up the centre of the field on a W-E alignment is a hollow way. (2)
