History & significance

The Roman period native farmstead 550m southwest of Trowupburn Farm is a prehistoric and Roman settlement site located in Northumberland. The monument comprises the remains of a native agricultural community that occupied the site during the Roman period, reflecting the continuation of pre-Roman settlement patterns and farming practices among the local Iron Age population. The site's survival in the archaeological record provides evidence of how native peoples in northern England adapted to and coexisted with Roman occupation, maintaining traditional pastoral and arable farming economies. Such farmsteads are characterised by domestic structures and associated field systems that reveal the everyday life and subsistence strategies of non-elite communities during the Roman imperial period in Britain.
