Roman fort, two Roman fortlets, two Roman camps, a section of Roman road and a medieval settlement and chapel at Chew Green
-
Description
"The monument includes the remains of two temporary camps, two Roman fortlets, a Roman fort, a section of Dere Street and a deserted settlement and chapel of medieval date, situated on a narrow, near level spur on the left bank of the River Coquet. The remains clearly represent occupation of the site over several hundred years although the sequence of construction of the Roman remains is poorly understood despite part excavation in 1936-7. The most southerly of the two temporary camps is also the largest feature at Chew Green. The camp is roughly square in shape and encloses an area of 7.7ha, within a rampart which varies in height between 0.1m at the north eastern side to 2m high on the south eastern side..." -
