The Kettles is a univallate hillfort and enclosed settlement located in Northumberland, England, situated approximately 261 metres north-west and 331 metres south-west of King's Chair. The monument is defined by a single defensive rampart that encloses an area of archaeological significance, representing settlement activity in the Iron Age period. The site's physical character reflects typical hillfort construction of its era, with the univallate defensive works suggesting a relatively modest fortified settlement compared to more substantially defended contemporaneous sites. The archaeological designation and recorded topography indicate The Kettles functioned as a defended settlement, likely serving functions related to stock management and territorial control characteristic of Iron Age communities in northern Britain.
