Multivallate hillfort, 420 metres south-south-west of Catcherside in Northumberland, is an Iron Age defensive earthwork characterised by multiple concentric ramparts and ditches that define its name and structure. The site demonstrates the sophisticated fortification techniques employed by Iron Age communities in northern Britain, with its multivallate design providing layered defensive positions around a central enclosed area. The earthworks remain substantially visible as landscape features, though their condition reflects the passage of two millennia and subsequent land use. Such hillforts were typically occupied during the Iron Age period, serving functions that encompassed settlement, refuge, and control of local territory and communication routes across the Northumberland landscape.
