Re: Knipe Scar (Score: 0)
by Anonymous on Thursday, 01 June 2006 | Hi - don't suppose anyone has heard of a "Knipe How" or similar place. My Parnaby ancestor was born there and it is likely to be somewhere in North Yorks, Teesside, Cumbria area. Any help appreciated as it does not seem to exist anymore, with no internet references!
cheers

by Anonymous on Tuesday, 22 July 2003 | I'm a karst geomorphologist from Lancaster University. I spent the day on Knipe Scar and I saw nothing that wasn't typical of the Knipe Scar Asbian limestones. Circular features are also found on Great Asby Scar pavements but they have nothing whatsoever to do with ancient peoples.
Who is the original souce for these supposed settlements.

(User Info | Send a Message) | The Knipe Scar site mentioned here is listed in Dr Aubrey Burl's "The stone circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany" (2000).
The gazetteer entry says that the circle is of uncertain status and perhaps misidentified but an excavation was undertaken in 1880. Two reports appear in print - both in the Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society - volumes 6 (p178?) and 7 (1907 p211-214). |

(User Info | Send a Message) | I managed to find the stone circle(?) up here in June 2004.
And I while I don't doubt circular features are found within the pavements.....I have to say that the circles embankment of broken off pieces of pavement, and the small gritstone boulders set within it are undoubtedly man-made.
To add to the references given by Vicky in her reply, the SMR notes the circle, but as being that of a Ring Cairn.
If you're ever up that way again look for a wooden post, it used to hold an info board. Standing within the circle it's the only thing that gives you any clues in finding the place.
nice one
stu.
