The prehistoric enclosures, field clearance cairns and unenclosed hut circle settlement north of Hart Heugh is a Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement complex located in upland Northumberland near Wooler Common. The site comprises multiple structural elements including two enclosed areas, scattered cairns resulting from the clearance of stones from ancient fields, and several hut circles representing domestic occupation. The hut circle settlement indicates sustained habitation during the later prehistoric period, whilst the field systems and clearance cairns reflect agricultural exploitation of the landscape. The monument survives as earthwork remains visible in the modern topography and represents an important record of prehistoric settlement patterns and land use in the upland regions of north-eastern England.
