Alnham medieval settlement is a deserted medieval village located in Northumberland, situated in the upland landscape of the Cheviot Hills. The settlement comprises the remains of a nucleated village with evidence of stone-built structures and associated field systems, indicative of medieval agricultural occupation. Dating to the medieval period, the site represents the type of rural settlement that characterised the Northumbrian uplands before depopulation, likely occurring through a combination of economic pressure and landscape change. The earthworks visible across the site provide archaeological evidence of domestic and communal medieval life in this remote Border region.
