Unenclosed hut circle settlement and field plots east of Rackside is an Iron Age or Romano-British settlement site located in Northumberland, positioned approximately 450 metres south-west of Cowboy's Cairn. The site comprises clusters of circular hut platforms associated with contemporary field systems, representing the domestic and agricultural infrastructure of a prehistoric or early Roman period farming community. The hut circles, identifiable as shallow depressions in the landscape, are characteristic of upland settlement patterns in northern Britain during this era, while the accompanying field plots demonstrate the organisation of pastoral and arable land use. This settlement type provides evidence of sustained habitation and land management practices in the Northumbrian uplands during the later prehistoric and early historic periods.
