Description
"The parish of Ford lies in north Northumberland, close to the Scottish border. It has a very rich variety of archaeological an historic sites, with numerous cropmarks, and important monuments and buildings from the prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval periods.

Some of their flint tools and blades have been found and would have been used by people who travelled to seasonal hunting grounds in the search for food.
