The prehistoric unenclosed hut circle settlement and field system on Snear Hill, located 700 metres west of Coronation Wood in Northumberland, is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement comprising scattered domestic structures and associated agricultural remains. The site consists of multiple hut circles arranged without formal defensive enclosure, alongside field boundaries that reflect the subsistence farming practices of its Iron Age inhabitants. The settlement pattern and field layout provide evidence of sustained habitation and land management in the upland landscape of northern England during the later prehistoric period. The site remains significant for understanding settlement morphology and agricultural organisation in the Iron Age of northern Britain.
