Pattenshiel Knowe (Hepple)
NY 955986. Prehistoric enclosed settlement with two (three?) huts at Pattenshiel Knowe. (1)
NY 95569865 Situated on gentle east facing slopes are the remains of an Iron Age/Romano-British settlement visible as a sub-circular enclosure measuring 45m south west-north east by 40m north east-south west, between the centres of a turf covered stone wall, 0.5m maximum height and spread to about 4m. The east arc has been severely robbed and survives as a stony outer scarp. The entrance has probably been in the south east but mutilation makes it impossible to ascertain. A modern wall cuts across the enclosure wall in the north west. The site is covered with bracken and only two ill-defined huts (4m and 8m diameter) could be traced.
Part ploughed out. Part destroyed by military digging. Surveyed at 1:10,000. (2)
Enclosed settlement, Cheviot-type. (3)
Scheduled. (4)
Romano British settlement with round houses part destroyed by military digging.(5)
Site visited as part of Farm Environment Plan, where noted as in excellent condition - though largely bracken covered. (6)
Bracken encroachment of the site again noted 2005-06 when site visited in field survey site assessments of the Otterburn ATE. (7)
