In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Harlow Hill like this:
HARLOW-HILL, a township in Ovingham parish, Northumberland; on the Roman wall, 10 miles E N E of Hexham. Acres, 993. Pop., 113. Houses, 19. Foundations of the Roman wall still exist here; the north fosse remains very distinct; and a mile-castle stood here, but has left no traces.
Harlow Hill is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Harlow Hill itself, go to Statistics.
