A scooped enclosure located 930 metres north-east of Langlee in Northumberland is a native settlement of Roman period date. The monument consists of an enclosed area defined by a shallow scoop or depression in the ground, representing a characteristic form of Iron Age and Romano-British domestic settlement in northern Britain. Such scooped enclosures served as homesteads or small communal spaces and reflect the settlement patterns of indigenous populations during the Roman occupation period. The site's preservation as an earthwork provides evidence of native settlement continuity and adaptation during the first and second centuries AD in this region of Northumberland.
