Defended settlement, 100m north west of Chester Cottage is a Prehistoric or Romano-British fortified enclosure located in Northumberland. The site comprises an earthwork defensive system characteristic of the late Iron Age or Romano-British period, when such enclosed settlements were common across northern Britain. The monument's physical remains include ditches and banks that once defined and protected the settlement perimeter, though the precise chronology and extent of occupation remain subjects of archaeological study. Its survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it a significant example of defended settlement form in the broader landscape of Northumberland's archaeological heritage.
