Kennels Field post-medieval farmstead (Kielder)

The mutilated remains of an embanked enclosure measuring 15m x 14m. The enclosing bank is up to 30m broad and internal area slightly raised above surrounding land. On south west side are badly robbed remains of rectangular enclosure, also fragmentary banks of another enclosure or building. (1)

The robbed remains of a house lie on a high field north of The Kennels at Kielder; a small garth is attached. To the south west are turf embankments enclosing a 'field'. (2)

A possible medieval/post medieval farmstead is visible as earthworks on 2016 aerial reconnaissance photography centred at NY 6343 9380. The earthworks, though low, appear to form an embanked rectilinear feature measuring 12m by 15m. The south-east length of this may be a rectangular building with either a garth or additional buildings attached to the north-west. Additional undulating earthworks probably represent outbuildings.
