Roman Settlement (Wall)
(NY 97087052) Settlement. (1)
East Errington Hill Head. An irregular earthwork with a single rampart about 1/4 acre in area. (Listed under Native Sites in Northumberland. (2)
Though partially mutilated, the earthwork is still well-defined, and consists of two contiguous enclosures containing three hut circles. Published survey (25 inch) revised. (3)
Condition unchanged. The work is not classified by Jobey, but it compares in general terms with his type 'A' (Small rectilinear settlements of the Roman period). (4)
NY 971702. East Errington Romano-British settlement. Foundations of two or three round huts in a small rectilinear stone enclosure. Entrance in east, annexe to north. (5)
Scheduled. (6)
Roman enclosures and hut circles are visible as earthworks on air photographs at NY 9708 7052. The conjoined enclosures are defined by a single fragmentary bank. The larger measures approximately 30m by 28m and is sub rectangular in form. A sub triangular enclosure measuring 18m by 20m lies on its northern side. It is possible that this actually represents a single enclosure with a sub division. Three hut circles measuring 7m in diameter lie within the enclosure. A linear earthwork (NY 97 SE 62) runs northwards from the north-west corner of the enclosure.
The site is listed by Jobey as a Roman rectilinear site but not as a type 'A' site. Its form does not suggest that it should be classified as so. (7a-b)
Located on the English Heritage map of Hadrian's Wall 2010. (7c)
General association with HER 31427 and HER 31418. (7)
