Site Details

Houghton (Heddon-on-the-Wall)

This is the site of the deserted medieval village of Houghton. It was first recorded in 1291 and was shown on a map of 1769. In the early 19th century there were two farms and several cottages on the site. However, little can be seen here today except for a boundary bank to the south of the farmhouses.
