A Romano-British settlement is a series of archaeological remains located approximately 655 metres north-east of Lanton Hill Monument in Northumberland. The site consists of scattered structural evidence from the Roman period, reflecting the pattern of rural occupation and land use in the frontier zone of Roman Britain during the first to fourth centuries AD. The settlement represents the type of dispersed farmstead or small nucleated community that characterised Romano-British agricultural exploitation in the region, occupying the landscape alongside the more formally planned military installations of the frontier. The remains survive as surface features and subsurface deposits within the immediate locality of Lanton Hill, a significant Roman monument complex in the Northumberland uplands.
