Four Romano-British settlements, field system and cord rig cultivation on Fairney Cleugh is a complex of Romano-British archaeological features located in Northumberland. The monument comprises multiple settlement sites dating to the Roman period, associated with an organised field system that demonstrates agricultural management contemporary with Romano-British occupation. The cord rig cultivation marks visible across the site represent ridge and furrow ploughland characteristic of Iron Age and Romano-British farming practices in northern Britain. This combination of domestic and agricultural remains provides evidence of sustained settlement and land use during the Roman period in the Northumbrian landscape.
