Three prehistoric and Romano-British settlements and associated cord rig at Green Brae is a scheduled ancient monument located in Northumberland comprising multiple occupation phases spanning the prehistoric and Romano-British periods. The site incorporates three distinct settlement areas alongside cord rig, a form of field system characterized by narrow parallel cultivation strips that reflects Iron Age and Romano-British agricultural practice. The persistence of settlement across these periods indicates sustained human occupation and adaptation to the landscape over more than a millennium. The cord rig remains visible as an archaeological landscape feature, providing evidence for the organisation of agricultural land in association with the contemporary settlements.
