Overview

History & significance

The Roman period native enclosed farmstead located 370 metres west-north-west of Southernknowe is a native settlement site dating to the Roman period, reflecting the continuation of Iron Age settlement patterns among indigenous populations in Northumberland during the first and second centuries AD. The site comprises an enclosed settlement, characteristic of Romano-British rural settlement in northern England, where native communities maintained traditional forms of agricultural organisation and domestic arrangement despite Roman military presence and administrative control in the region. Such enclosed farmsteads represent significant archaeological evidence for understanding the persistence of native lifeways and economic structures in the northern frontier zone of Roman Britain, demonstrating the complex interaction between incoming Roman forces and established local communities.
