Historic England Research Records

Monument Number 16309

Hob Uid: 16309
Location :
Northumberland
Haydon
Grid Ref : NY8250067800
Summary : Possible site of a Roman signal tower seen on aerial photographs, no visible surface remains. Probable duplicate of NY 86 NW 3.
More information : NY 825678 Site of earthwork visible on A.Ps (2). Size and plan (c.60 ft. square with rounded corners) accords with the dimensions of a Roman signal station, but there are no surface indications (2). A signal station would probably have been needed at this point to provide an adequate link with that on Barcombe, and maintain communications along the line of the Stanegate (3). Nothing is visible on the RAF A.Ps. (1-3)

There are no visible surface indications of this feature. The site, however, is well suited for a signal tower. (4)

The feature described above is a brobable duplicate of NY 86 NW 3 and is fully described in that record.
