The settlement on the north east slope of Yeavering Bell is an Iron Age enclosed settlement located in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland. The site consists of the remains of roundhouses and associated structures arranged within a defended enclosure, representing domestic occupation during the pre-Roman Iron Age period. Its positioning on the north east slope of the hill exploited the natural topography for defence and access to resources, typical of settlements of this era in northern Britain. The site forms part of the wider complex of settlement remains at Yeavering Bell, which demonstrates the significance of this location as a focal point for Iron Age communities in the region.
