The defended settlement on Beanley Moor is an Iron Age hilltop enclosure located in Northumberland, situated approximately 780 metres east of Beanley South Side Farm. The site comprises a substantial earthwork defence consisting of a substantial bank and ditch arrangement that encloses an area of settlement activity typical of the Iron Age period in northern Britain. The monument demonstrates the defensive concerns and territorial organisation of Iron Age communities in this region, reflecting patterns of settlement clustering and resource control characteristic of the pre-Roman Iron Age. The site remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement strategy and land use in Northumberland, though detailed excavation records for this specific monument are limited in the broader scholarly literature.
