Woolaw enclosed farmstead at Brigantium

The enclosed farmstead is one of several located on the south side of Redesdale. These sites are thought to date from the Romano-British period (around 80AD to 410AD) and were the dwellings of the native Brigantian Celts. We know that the substantial enclosure walls were built of stone, though the wooden palisade has been interpreted. The stone-walled roundhouses replaced earlier ones made of wood.
