BIRDHOPE or Burdhope, Northumberland, England.

A site 65 km NW of Newcastle.

1) Marching camps (NY 827988), ca. 400 m NW of and visible from Bremenium, the earlier and larger one (ca. 11 ha) with gates with claviculae, enclosing the smaller and later (ca. 3.2 ha) with gates with traverses. Now within a modern army camp, these are two of the remarkable series of camps on Dere Street in N Northumberland.

2) Native farming settlement (NY 815985), 1.6 km W of Bremenium. Five conjoined enclosures built of stone, with one or two round stone houses in each, undoubtedly occupied in the Roman period, but partly obstructed by rectangular post-Roman structures.
