Falstone : The Early Medieval Period

Little is known of settlement patterns in the Northumbrian uplands in the centuries following the collapse of Roman imperial authority. It is likely that the enclosed farmsteads which were such a feature of rural settlement in the preceding period, continued to be occupied well into the early medieval era, but diagnostic dating evidence is lacking. If the wider settlement pattern at this time is unclear, however, there is unambiguous evidence for early medieval activity at Falstone itself, in the shape of carved stonework belonging to this period found in and around the village.
