Bronze Age unenclosed settlement and field system with burial cairns south west of Brands Hill, 350 metres east-north-east of Langlee in Northumberland is a dispersed archaeological site comprising domestic structures and associated land divisions dating to the Bronze Age. The settlement consists of an unenclosed arrangement of dwelling platforms and scattered cairns that served both funerary and possibly agricultural functions, typical of upland settlement patterns in northern Britain during this period. The field system evident across the site reflects Bronze Age agricultural organisation and land management practices, whilst the cairns indicate sustained occupation and burial practices across the settlement landscape. This monument group contributes to understanding of Bronze Age settlement hierarchies and the exploitation of moorland and upland environments in Northumberland.
