Defended settlement 700m south east of Glen Aln is a prehistoric fortified enclosure located in Northumberland. The site comprises a substantial earthwork defence, characteristic of Iron Age settlement practices in northern Britain, dating to the later prehistoric period. The defensive works suggest a community engaged in pastoral and agricultural activities requiring protection, typical of settlements established during the middle to late Iron Age. The monument remains an important archaeological record of pre-Roman settlement patterns in the region and contributes to understanding of territorial organisation and social hierarchy in Iron Age Northumberland.
