Defended settlement, 620m SSW of West Brizlee is a prehistoric fortified enclosure located in Northumberland. The site comprises a substantial earthwork comprising banks and ditches forming an enclosed settlement area, characteristic of Iron Age defensive architecture in northern England. The monument's defensive character and structural form are consistent with settlement patterns from the first millennium BC, when such enclosed sites served as centres of domestic occupation and storage for local communities. The earthwork remains visible on the landscape today and represents an important example of Iron Age settlement organisation in the Northumbrian region.
