The unenclosed hut circle settlement located 180 metres north east of Sandyway Heads is a Bronze Age domestic site situated on the moorlands of Northumberland. The settlement comprises a dispersed arrangement of hut circles, representing the remains of roundhouses that formed a small prehistoric community, likely dating to the second millennium before Christ. The site's unenclosed character, lacking defensive earthworks or field boundaries, is typical of Bronze Age settlement patterns in upland regions of northern Britain. The preservation of multiple structural remains at this location provides archaeological evidence for settlement organisation and domestic life during the Bronze Age period in the North East of England.
