Overview

History & significance

The settlement and cultivation remains located 450 metres north west of Cwm Farm in Shropshire is a scheduled ancient monument comprising evidence of Iron Age and Romano-British occupation. The site consists of an enclosed settlement with associated field systems and agricultural features that demonstrate the patterns of land use and habitation during the late prehistoric and Roman periods in the Welsh Marches region. The enclosed character of the settlement is typical of defended or stock-management settlements common to the area during these periods.
