Abstract: | NZ 269729. In SE Northumberland and on the NE coastal plain generally, a large and growing number of rectilinear ditched enclosures are known as crop marks on air-photographs (see abstract 69/497). Excavation of one of these sites at Burradon revealed an enclosed settlement consisting of round timber-built huts of various structural phases, whose foundation may be related to sherds in the Earliest Iron Age tradition. Superimposed upon this earlier enclosure was a homestead of one large, round, timber-built house, also lying within a rectangular enclosure. This was probably occupied during the 2nd century AD. Wider implications for the settlement of the coastal areas of the Tyne-Forth Province during the Iron Age are also discussed. Au | ||
