The prehistoric unenclosed hut circle settlement and field system on Snear Hill is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement located in Northumberland, situated approximately 700 metres west of Coronation Wood's western boundary. The site comprises a cluster of hut circles, the characteristic remains of roundhouses that formed the domestic core of the settlement, alongside associated field systems that demonstrate the agricultural practices and land management of the prehistoric inhabitants. The unenclosed nature of the settlement indicates an open, dispersed pattern of occupation rather than a defended community, a settlement form common in northern Britain during the later prehistoric period. The field boundaries and hut circle distributions visible on the site provide evidence of the organisation of domestic and productive space in prehistoric Northumberland.
