The Romano-British farmstead situated 550 metres south-east of Shittleheugh is a scheduled ancient monument in Northumberland that dates to the Roman period of occupation in Britain. The site comprises the archaeological remains of a rural settlement typical of Romano-British agricultural communities in the northern frontier region. Such farmsteads formed part of the wider settlement pattern beyond the military establishments and urban centres, providing essential food production and resources for the provincial economy. The monument's survival as an identifiable archaeological site contributes to understanding settlement patterns and farming practices during the Roman occupation of northern Britain.
