Closely-spaced, enclosed ‘homesteads’ and ‘settlements’ with associated remnants of field systems, covering an area of 2 km N-S x 0.8 km E-W. Similar to Iron Age/Romano-British (?) enclosures in Lunesdale and central Cumbria (egs Leck Hall and Ewe Close). Some, but not all recorded on OS maps. Associated medieval (?) ridge & furrow patterns. Abundant other ‘lumps and bumps’ (possibly field-clearance cairns) and small circular features.
Several individual sites here are described in detail at https://ancientmonuments.uk/historic-county/northumberland, with various age suggestions: prehistoric; Bronze Age; Roman period native enclosed settlement etc..
