Richard's Knowe Strip is a settlement located 150 metres west-north-west of St John's Kirk in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site lies upon bedrock of Silurian to Devonian extrusive rocks, formed during the Devonian period as mafic lava and mafic tuff. This ancient volcanic geology provides the solid foundation underlying the settlement landscape.
The settlement represents a phase of occupation in medieval or early modern Lanarkshire, positioned in close proximity to the ecclesiastical site of St John's Kirk. The spatial relationship between domestic settlement and church indicates the organisation of community life around religious and administrative centres characteristic of rural Scottish settlements during this period.
Richard's Knowe Strip is protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland's designation SM2624, recognising its historical significance and archaeological interest. The site remains an important record of settlement patterns and land use in Lanarkshire, preserved within the landscape and geological context that has shaped human occupation in this region for centuries.
