Enclosed settlement west of Mid Hill is an Iron Age settlement located in Northumberland, England. The site comprises an enclosed area defined by defensive earthworks typical of the Iron Age period, reflecting the settlement patterns and territorial organisation of the pre-Roman British communities inhabiting the region. Such enclosed settlements served multiple functions as permanent or semi-permanent habitation centres, offering protection and facilitating community activities during the later prehistoric period. The monument remains archaeologically significant as evidence of Iron Age settlement distribution and social structures in northern England, particularly in understanding the occupation and use of the Northumberland landscape prior to the Roman conquest.
