The Kettles univallate hillfort and enclosed settlement is an Iron Age defensive and domestic site located in Northumberland. The monument comprises a single-banked enclosure typical of univallate hillforts, a form of fortified settlement prevalent in Iron Age Britain, particularly in northern regions. The site's archaeological significance lies in its representation of Iron Age settlement patterns and land use in the upland areas of Northumberland, where such hillforts often served dual purposes as both defensive strongholds and centres of organised community activity. The specific positioning relative to King's Chair, as recorded in the official record, aids in precise location and archaeological survey of this important prehistoric monument.
