The unenclosed hut circle settlement and field system located 880 metres north of Heddon Hill in Northumberland is a prehistoric monument of Bronze Age or Iron Age date. The site comprises a cluster of hut circles associated with an ancient field system, representing the remains of a settlement pattern characteristic of later prehistoric communities in northern Britain. The hut circles and field boundaries survive as earthwork features in the upland landscape, providing evidence of pastoral and possibly agricultural activity in this region during the Iron Age or Bronze Age periods. Such settlements are significant for understanding the organisation of prehistoric settlement and land use in the Pennine uplands and adjacent areas of Northumberland.
