The enclosed settlement 400 metres south east of Woolaw is a Romano-British settlement of the second century AD. The site comprises an earthwork enclosure with associated features typical of native settlements that continued occupation or were established during the Roman period in northern Britain. Its location in Northumberland reflects the pattern of Romano-British settlement in the region beyond the immediate frontier zone, where indigenous communities maintained their traditional enclosed settlement forms whilst adapting to the presence of Roman authority. The monument survives as upstanding earthworks that provide evidence for settlement patterns and land use during the later stages of Roman Britain.
