Prehistoric unenclosed hut circle settlement south east of Long Crags is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement located in Northumberland. The site comprises a scatter of hut circles, the characteristic circular or oval stone-founded structures that served as domestic dwellings during prehistory in upland regions of northern Britain. Unenclosed settlements of this type indicate a pastoral or mixed agricultural economy without formal defensive or administrative boundaries, distinguishing them from the more formally organised enclosed settlements found elsewhere in the prehistoric landscape. The monument contributes to understanding the patterns of prehistoric settlement and land use in the Northumbrian uplands during the later prehistoric period.
