Unenclosed hut circle settlement, 180m north east of Sandyway Heads is a prehistoric domestic settlement located in Northumberland. The site comprises a cluster of hut circles, representing Iron Age or Bronze Age occupation of the upland landscape. Such unenclosed settlements are characteristic of northern British prehistoric communities who relied on pastoralism and small-scale agriculture, and this example contributes to understanding settlement patterns and land use in the region during the later prehistoric period. The archaeological remains survive as earthwork features visible on the modern ground surface.
