From the Wikipedia article
Huckhoe Settlement is an archaeological site in Northumberland, England, near the village of Bolam and about 7 miles (11 km) west of Morpeth. The site shows occupation, in at least four phases, dating from the early Iron Age (6th century BC) to the post-Roman period (6th century AD). It is a scheduled monument.

Background
Description
The site is on an oval promontory, steep on the north and west sides, above a tributary of the River Wansbeck. There is a low earth and stone bank forming an enclosure, 94 m north-east to south-west by 72 m north-west to south-east, with an entrance of width 5 m on the east side, and slight traces inside of roundhouses and courtyard walls. This is thought to be a re-occupation in the Romano-British period, of an Iron Age defended settlement. The visible remains of the earlier settlement are two ramparts: the outer is 4 m wide and 0.8 m high on the south and east sides, with traces of an external ditch, about 10 m outside the inner rampart.
