Hillfort, Prendwick Chesters (Prickly Knowe), Ingram, Northumberland.
A sub-circular stone-built Iron Age hillfort now mutilated and robbed. Although now enclosed by two ramparts the outer rampart opens in the W onto a later field system and is probably a later addition. Internally the remains of at least seven stone-founded hut circles and low earth banks forming internal divisions, are interpreted as a later Romano-British phase of occupation. Rectangular buildings range along the rampart in the S and are the remains of a small medieval settlement demonstarting continuity of occupation over an extended period.
