Ancient Village or Settlement in Tyne and Wear
Tyne and Wear HER 175, Scheduled Monument. Photo in Miket page 121.
Late Iron Age or Romano-British settlement.
A trapezoidal single ditched enclosure visible on aerial photographs, trapezoidal, 60 m on three sides, 50 m on the western side, visible as a crop mark, with a single entrance visible but no visible internal features. There are further settlement remains including hut circles outside the enclosure. Geophysical survey from the area within and immediately around the monument suggests that complex settlement remains survive, including the remains of a series of seven intercutting hut circles, a pair of intercutting hut circles, a lone hut circle, a ditch and a curvilinear ditch. Five of the seven intercutting hut circles are located within the enclosure, with the remaining two either cutting or cut by the northern side of the enclosure. The hut circles range from 7 m to 20 m in diameter.
