Cropmarks have revealed what is probably a fortified settlement on a low spur that descend gently E to the S of the Roman fort complex at Nestead. Oval on plan, it measures about 80m from N to S by 70m transversely (0.4ha) within two ditches set about 5m apart; the ditches appear relatively narrow at about 2m in breadth. The ditches were sectioned in 1990 and within the interior a timber round-house and stone surfaces were uncovered; finds included Roman pottery from beneath a collapsed wall, as well as other coarse pottery and a bronze bracelet (Frere 1991), but the full results of this work remain unpublished.
