The defended settlement 360m north east of Pike House is an Iron Age fortified enclosure located in Northumberland. The site comprises a substantial earthwork consisting of a single substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of the defended settlements common across northern Britain during the Iron Age period. The defensive features suggest the enclosure served to protect a community and its livestock during a period of considerable social complexity and regional interaction. The monument remains a valuable archaeological resource for understanding the settlement patterns and defensive strategies of Iron Age communities in the north of England.
