Roman period native enclosed settlement and scooped enclosure on the south east slopes of Brands Hill is a settlement earthwork located 350 metres north west of Cowboy's Cairn in Northumberland. The site comprises an enclosed settlement with associated scooped features, characteristic of native British occupation during the Roman period when such communities maintained their traditional settlement forms whilst under Roman rule or influence. The earthwork remains visible as surface features on the sloping terrain, representing the material culture and settlement patterns of Iron Age communities that persisted into and through the Roman occupation of northern Britain. Such enclosed settlements demonstrate the continuation of indigenous settlement practices alongside Roman military and administrative presence in the region during the first and second centuries AD.
