Riding Wood is a Romano-British farmstead located in Northumberland in the north of England. The site dates to the Roman period of occupation in Britain and represents the settlement pattern of rural agricultural communities during this era. The farmstead comprises structural remains characteristic of Romano-British domestic and economic activity, reflecting the adaptation of local populations to Roman provincial life. Such settlements are significant for understanding the broader landscape of Roman Britain beyond the major urban centres and military installations, and Riding Wood contributes to knowledge of farming practices and settlement organisation in the northern frontier region during the Roman occupation.
