(NT 91910795) 'Ground much disturbed: small rectangular enclosure 25 x 20x, and pits. Traces of foundations: modern?'. (1)
Centred NT 91900795 Remains of two Homestead Settlements with Stock enclosures, are situated upon a gentle east slope of moorland pasture, at approx 1050 feet above sea-level. The ground rises to the west to a low ridge, while to the south, east and north, the site overlooks the valley of the Linhope Burn. Rig and furrow ploughing on the downhill side has destroyed the east sides of the two settlements, whilst the remaining areas are much mutilated and worn down, possibly by ploughing.
The northern settlement consists of five contiguous enclosures; the westernmost are rectangular, the others irregular in plan. There are 11 hut circles, with diameters ranging from 3m to 7m. The banks bounding the enclosures are of earth and stone. The centrally placed
enclosure is deeply scooped into the ground and is oval in plan.
The southern settlement consists of three enclosures, with remains of possibly two more enclosures to the south-east. Again the westernmost enclosure is rectangular, and the others are irregular in plan. There are six hut circles with diameters ranging from 5m to 7m, with possible sites of two more.
The nearest present fresh water supply is a stream to the west beyond the ridge. (2)

Romano-British settlement, 300m south east of Hosedon Linn. Scheduling revised on 22nd March 1994, new national monument number 25019.
The monument includes the remains of a stone built settlement of Romano-British date, situated on a gentle east facing slope overlooking the valley of the Linhope Burn. The settlement comprises eight irregular embanked enclosures and the remains of at least 15 stone founded houses divided into two separate complexes. The enclosure walls stand to between 1m-1.5m high and are up to 5m wide. The most northerly complex is visible as three contiguous enclosures or yards, the two most westerly ones are rectangular in shape, the third is oval in shape and deeply scooped into the ground. Within the complex, and fronting onto the yards, are the sites of up to 11 circular buildings ranging in size from 3m to 7m in diameter. The southern complex is visible as two contiguous enclosures, the most westerly one is rectangular in shape, and the foundations of up to six circular houses ranging in size from 5m to 7m in diameter are clearly visible. The circular buildings represent the houses inhabited by Romano-British farmers and the enclosures are interpreted as stock pens and yards.
The settlement 300m south-east of Hosedon Linn is well preserved. It is one of a group of later prehistoric and Romano-British settlements in the area and will contribute to any study of the settlement pattern at this time. (7)
