This enclosed settlement and subsidiary enclosure on the east slope of Brands Hill in Northumberland is a prehistoric monument, likely dating to the Iron Age period. The site consists of a main enclosure with associated subsidiary earthworks, characteristic of settlement patterns found across northern England during this era. The enclosed settlement represents evidence of domestic occupation and land use management in the Northumberland uplands, contributing to understanding of Iron Age agricultural communities in the region. The monument survives as earthwork remains visible on the sloping terrain southwest of Broom Crook Plantation.
