History & significance

This ancient monument is a Romano-British enclosed settlement and medieval settlement located 300 metres south of Burdhope in Northumberland. The site comprises earthwork remains indicative of occupation across two distinct historical periods, with evidence of Romano-British settlement overlain by or adjacent to later medieval activity. The Romano-British phase demonstrates settlement patterns typical of the frontier zone economy during the Roman occupation of Britain, whilst the medieval reoccupation reflects the continuing strategic or agricultural value of the location in the post-Roman period. The surviving earthworks provide archaeological evidence of long-term settlement continuity at this location across more than a millennium.
