Tathey Crags is a prehistoric unenclosed hut circle settlement located in Northumberland, England. The site comprises a scatter of circular stone-built dwelling structures typical of Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement patterns in northern Britain, though the precise dating remains uncertain without extensive archaeological investigation. The hut circles are characteristic of the upland pastoral communities that occupied the Northumberland hills during the later prehistoric period, representing evidence of domestic occupation and land use in this region. As an unenclosed settlement, it differs from the more formally defended or bounded settlements of the Iron Age, suggesting a pastoral rather than permanently fortified character.
