Palisaded settlement 125m south of North Pike cairn is a prehistoric enclosure located in Northumberland, England. The site comprises a palisaded settlement, a form of defended or enclosed settlement characteristic of the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods in northern Britain, indicating organised habitation and pastoral or agricultural activity. Its proximity to the North Pike cairn, itself a Bronze Age funerary monument, suggests these features formed part of a broader Bronze Age landscape of settlement and ritual activity in this upland region. The palisade construction, typical of settlements from the second and first millennia BC, would have served defensive or territorial purposes whilst containing domestic occupation.
