A Romano-British settlement is a dispersed archaeological site located approximately 655 metres north-east of Lanton Hill Monument in Northumberland. The settlement dates to the Roman period and represents evidence of civilian occupation and land use during Rome's military and administrative presence in northern Britain. The site's physical character is indicated through surface scatter and subsurface deposits typical of Romano-British rural settlements of the region, which often comprised scattered farmsteads and field systems rather than nucleated villages. Such settlements in this locality typically functioned to supply agricultural produce and other resources to the Roman military infrastructure that dominated the Northumberland landscape during the occupation period.
