A Romano-British farmstead is a modest agricultural settlement of the Roman period located 1.3 kilometres north east of Harwood Head in Northumberland. The site represents the remains of a civilian rural establishment dating to the Romano-British era, reflecting the pattern of agricultural exploitation and settlement that extended into the native British landscape during the Roman occupation of Britain. The farmstead exemplifies the type of small-scale farming community that supplied produce and livestock to support the broader Romano-British economy and military installations across the region. As a designated ancient monument, the site preserves evidence of Romano-British rural life and settlement patterns in the upland areas of northern England during the first few centuries of the Christian era.
