The monument on the east slopes of Brands Hill, located approximately 1100 metres south-east of Carey Burn Bridge in Northumberland, comprises archaeological remains of both Roman period native settlement and medieval shieling activity. The site's dual chronological sequence reflects successive phases of land use in this upland landscape, with evidence for native settlement dating to the Roman period and later pastoral exploitation during the medieval era in the form of a shieling, a temporary or seasonal structure associated with transhumant shepherding practices. The physical remains survive as surface features within the archaeological landscape, documenting patterns of settlement and agricultural use across more than a millennium of northern frontier history.
