Two deserted medieval hamlets and part of an associated field system, 830m east of Shillmoor, is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the archaeological remains of two separate settlement clusters dating to the medieval period. The site preserves earthwork evidence of domestic structures and their surrounding agricultural landscape, reflecting the pattern of dispersed rural habitation characteristic of medieval Northumberland. The field system visible across the monument demonstrates the organisation of arable and pastoral land use contemporary with the hamlets' occupation. The abandonment of these settlements, typical of many medieval rural sites in northern England, has resulted in the preservation of their physical remains as upstanding earthworks and subsurface deposits of archaeological significance.
