" MID-KEAVEL." In the township of Over Kellet, 6 miles N.E. of Lancaster, there is a group of fields, formerly arable, known as " the Longfield." It has a length of 50 statute chains, and an average breadth of 13 chains. Prior to 1790 it was practically one enclosure, owned by many different people in parcels of one, two, three, or more roods, locally named " dales." The field consists of three parts. The upper part lies upon the summit and northern slope of an eminence known as Standersbarrow ; the lower part is known as " Longfield Bottom," or " Low Longfield " ; the middle portion, which is roughly separated from the upper and lower portions of the field by slight terraces, is known as " the Mid-Keavels " or " Mid-Keyviles."

This, like other place-names in the town- ship, tells us that there was a Norse element among the early settlers in this place. It is the Old Norse mifikafli, " a mid-piece " or " middle-bit," also " a sword's hilt." See Cleasby and Vigfusson. s.v. ' Kafli.' Cf. kefli, '"a stick," "a bit of wood." The fomer occurs in the ' Eng. Dial. Diet.' as cavel, with the meanings " a lot," " a share," " a ridge of growing corn, especially where the custom of ' run-rig ' is retained." The
