Full Description

{1}{2} Early History: Section 2 in main report. The evidence of township morphology would suggest that great open field called Kipton Field in Rothwell could represent a lost Saxon settlement territory comparable to surviving hamlets like Thorpe Underwood and Glendon. A lost early/middle Saxon settlement of Kipton, comparable to other places identified by Hall elsewhere in the county, should be sought unless an alternative derivation for the name can be recovered. The reconstruction of the medieval and post medieval furlong pattern is needed to focus this investigation by identifying the Kipton name in the furlong pattern, but Kipton Close may give a broad indication of location.
