Multivallate hillfort, located 420 metres south-south-west of Catcherside in Northumberland, is an Iron Age defensive settlement characterised by multiple concentric earthwork ramparts. The monument comprises a series of vallate (ramparted) enclosures that provided successive lines of defence, a construction type common amongst hillforts of the later prehistoric period in northern Britain. The site's multivallate design reflects the progressive strengthening of fortifications during the Iron Age, demonstrating strategic investment in defensive capability. Such hillforts typically served as centres for settlement, storage, and control of surrounding territories during the first millennium before the Roman conquest.
