The univallate hillfort and medieval tower situated 750 metres east of Callaly Castle is a scheduled ancient monument comprising two distinct phases of fortification on the same location in Northumberland. The hillfort represents Iron Age settlement, defined by its single defensive rampart, whilst the medieval tower represents later military occupation of a strategically significant hilltop position. The superimposition of medieval structures upon earlier prehistoric defences reflects the enduring tactical value of the site's elevated location commanding the surrounding landscape. The monument is recorded under NHLE list entry 1011090 and remains an important archaeological record of both Iron Age and medieval fortification strategies in the region.
