Shipman Knotts is a Lake District fell of 587 m in Westmorland and Furness. It barely stands apart: the summit is only 11 m above the col joining it to higher ground.
All four of its nearest neighbours are higher, up to Harter Fell (Mardale) at 779 m. It sits below Kentmere Pike, only 1.7 km to the north-west and 143.5 m higher. Its key col leads to High Street, not to its nearest higher summit, Goat Scar. All four of its nearest neighbours lie to the north, so it stands at the southern edge of its group. Its nearest higher summit, Goat Scar (626 m, 0.7 km north), is a listed top not profiled here. The key col is close by, only 0.2 km to the north at 576 m.
