Grieve's Ash Iron Age/Romano-British settlements and co-axial field system, Linhope, Northumberland. Also known as Greave's Ash.
The western 'defended settlement' contains the foundations of at least 18 roundhouses, and an adjacent settlement scooped into the steep hillside some 200 metres to the E encloses a further 8. A series of regular fields lie to the E of the complex and include many cairns and linear dumps of field cleared stones.

"The huts are now roofless, the fires of the hearths quenched forever, the fortifications levelled; yet these ruins have outlasted the erections of more civilized times, and they still remain to tell us something of the busy population who hunted, tended flocks, tilled the ground, and quarrelled and fought, at a very distant period, in the valley of the Breamish."
'On the old Celtic Town at Greaves Ash ...' by George Tate (1861)
