West Howden Hill Romano-British settlement (Haydon)
[NY 82666925] Roman Camp. (1)
Listed as a probable native, rectilinear settlement. (2)
A small rectangular enclosure with rounded corners, and internal ditch. There are no apparent entrances or surviving internal structures. Probably a Romano-British homestead. Surveyed at 1/2500. (3)
A small rectangular earthwork with rounded corners situated on the summit of a prominent knoll. It comprises a well-defined platform (with very faint traces of a rampart), a ditch and a counterscarp bank; these are broken on the east side to give a causewayed entrance. Although firm evidence of internal structures is lacking there can be little doubt that the work represents a Romano-British settlement. (4)
Aerial photographs show a rectangular enclosure with an outer ditch and an east facing entrance. There is no visible sign of internal habitation, but it is likely to be a Romano-British settlement. (5)(6)
A rectilinear enclosure of probable Roman date is visible as an earthwork on air photographs at NY 8268 6925. It is formed by a ditch with a counterscarp bank and is sub-rectangular in form. It measures 44m by 39m and has an entrance to the east. (7a)
Located on the English Heritage map of Hadrian's Wall 2010. (7b)
General association with HER 7829 (enclosure). (7)
