Enclosed hilltop settlement on Pig Hill, 600m south west of High Fallowfield is a prehistoric enclosed settlement located in County Durham. The monument consists of an earthwork enclosure situated on elevated terrain, representing a settlement form characteristic of Iron Age communities in northern England.
