Cropmark (Wooler)
Romano-British enclosed settlement. A rectangular ditched enclosure measuring c.70m square with a south-east facing entrance is clearly visible as a crop mark on RAF verticals. (1)
Visible on aerial photographs. (2)
[NT 9918 3007] A rectilinear enclosure occupies an `island' of gravel at 37m AOD on the floodplain of the river Till. The enclosure is formed by a single ditch and has overall dimensions of c. 70m square with an internal area of 0.14ha. On the eastern side there is a clearly marked entrance. Within the enclosure the site of at least one round (timber ?) house is marked by a ring ditch. A number of probable pits are also visible in the interior. 60m to the east, at NT 9928 3005, is a ring ditch c. 10m in diameter. This may represent the site of an unenclosed round house (HER 2165). (3)(4a)
Aerial photograph references. (4b-h)
A curving row of pits (HER 34287) intersects with the north-eastern corner of the enclosure. The temporal relationship between these two features is unclear. (4e-f)
The site has been mapped from the air as part of the Milfield Geoarchaeology Project. (See archive object MD000296). (4)
General association with HER 2165 (ring ditch). (4)
