Overview

History & significance

The Romano-British settlement and field of cord rig 625 metres south west of Rede Bridge is an ancient monument in Northumberland combining two distinct phases of agricultural and domestic occupation. The settlement evidence derives from the Romano-British period, indicating occupation during the Roman rule of Britain, whilst the cord rig field system represents a later medieval or post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation pattern characteristic of arable farming practices. The site demonstrates the long-term use of this landscape for agriculture and settlement across multiple centuries. The cord rig, comprising parallel raised ridges created by ploughing, reflects the intensive cultivation methods employed in northern England during the medieval and early modern periods, overlying or adjacent to the earlier Romano-British domestic activity.
