Settlement on north slope of Yeavering Bell is a prehistoric settlement located on the northern slopes of Yeavering Bell in Northumberland. The site comprises the remains of round houses and associated features dating to the Iron Age, representing occupation during the first millennium before Christ. The settlement forms part of the broader hillfort complex at Yeavering Bell, one of the most significant Iron Age sites in northern Britain, and provides evidence of domestic life and settlement patterns during this period. The structures and their distribution across the slope contribute to understanding Iron Age community organisation and land use in the Cheviot region.
