A Romano-British farmstead is a rural settlement dating to the Roman period located approximately 400 metres west-southwest of Hetchester in Northumberland. The site represents evidence of agricultural exploitation and domestic occupation during the Roman occupation of Britain, reflecting the integration of indigenous farming communities within the provincial economy. Archaeological investigation has identified structural remains and artefactual evidence consistent with a small-scale agricultural settlement of this period. Such farmsteads contribute to understanding rural settlement patterns and economic activity in Roman northern Britain beyond the confines of forts and major urban centres.
