Defended settlement, 600m south east of Red Stead is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Northumberland. The site comprises an enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age defensive architecture in northern Britain. The monument dates to the Iron Age period and represents the type of enclosed settlement typical of this era in the region, serving as evidence of social organisation and land management practices among prehistoric communities. Such defended settlements are significant for understanding settlement patterns and the distribution of population across the Northumberland landscape during the later pre-Roman iron age.
