Harwood Shield medieval or post-medieval farmstead (Hexhamshire and District)

Lidar survey has identified a complex of earthworks covering an area of about 115m by 100m. They are indicative of a group of enclosures, field banks, paddocks and structures, which collectively are suggestive of a farmstead. Both the earthworks and nearby ridge and furrow cultivation exhibit a degree of complexity suggestive of chronological depth, and may accordingly indicate more than a single period of activity. To the north and east there are numeroud embanked fields which clearly pre-date the period of parliamentary enclosure and seem likely to be associated with this complex.
