History & significance

The monument 270 metres south of Torleehouse is a multi-period site in Northumberland encompassing Roman period native settlement, associated field systems and trackway, alongside later medieval farmstead remains. The Roman phase represents indigenous occupation and land use during the period of Roman military presence in northern Britain, whilst the field boundaries and trackway indicate organised agricultural activity across the landscape. The subsequent medieval farmstead demonstrates continuity of settlement in this locality through the early medieval period. The site thus preserves evidence of long-term human occupation and agricultural exploitation spanning from the Roman Iron Age through to medieval times.
