North Black Hagg defended settlement is a prehistoric or early medieval fortified enclosure located in Northumberland. The site comprises an earthwork defence comprising a bank and ditch arrangement characteristic of settlement enclosures from the Iron Age or early historic period. Its physical remains suggest a small defended homestead or farmstead, representative of domestic settlement patterns in northern Britain during these periods. The monument's precise dating and cultural attribution remain subjects of archaeological investigation, though its defensive characteristics and morphology align it with broader traditions of enclosed settlement in the region.
