A Roman period native enclosed settlement and Medieval shieling 165m north east of Dunsdale. Earthwork remains of three conjoined enclosures of earth and stone banks, the interiors of these enclosures are slightly scooped into the ground surface. The circular stone foundations of several prehistoric buildings lie within and adjacent to the enclosures. The stone foundation of a rectangular building of Medieval date, interpreted as a shieling, lies to the east of the enclosures. The enclosing wall for the settlement may have been eroded by the Bizzle and Lambden Burns; scheduled. (4)
