Abstract:
Between December 1999 and January 2000 English Heritage carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of a prehistoric enclosure on Hethpool Bell in the Northumberland National Park. The enclosure is situated on a shelf on the south side of the hill some 26m below the summit. It is 'egg-shaped' in plan, orientated almost due north-south and mostly defined by a turf-covered stony bank. No evidence for occupation was found. Later activity on the site consists of an animal pen and possible shelter overlying the north end of the enclosure and a small windbreak built on top of the bank on the south-west side. The field investigation concluded that although there is a degree of confidence that the enclosure is likely to be prehistoric, there is insufficient evidence to classify it as a hillfort.
