Defended settlement, 200m south west of Bolam Hall is a prehistoric settlement of Iron Age date, located in Northumberland. The site is characterised by earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that enclosed a residential area, typical of fortified settlements common across northern Britain during the Iron Age period. The defensive works suggest a community concerned with protection from threats, whether from rival groups or livestock raiders, reflecting the social and political organisation of late prehistoric northern England. The monument survives as upstanding earthworks and represents an important archaeological record of settlement patterns and defensive strategies in the region during the Iron Age.
