Four Romano-British settlements, field system and cord rig cultivation on Fairney Cleugh is a complex of Romano-British archaeological remains located in Northumberland. The site comprises four distinct settlement areas associated with systematic field divisions and cord rig cultivation patterns, a form of arable agriculture evidenced by parallel ridges created through ploughing. Dating to the Romano-British period, the monument demonstrates the organisation of rural settlement and land use during the Roman occupation of northern Britain. The surviving earthworks and field patterns provide material evidence of how Romano-British communities managed their agricultural landscape in the upland regions of Northumberland.
