Hedley Hall, farmstead

In 1977 Selkirk claimed a suspected Roman Fort visible as very prominent earthworks on aerial photographs, perhaps double-ditched and with a suspected 'vicus' to the north east. With some stonework visible there. The Ordnance Survey reinterpreted it as not a Roman fort but a misidentification of partly enclosed ridge and furrow. It also seems likely that the remains incorporate those of a medieval or later farmstead or hamlet. The site was subsequently ploughed almost smooth, but possible traces of building survive, and these will be excluded from planned forest planting.
