Spindlestone Heughs Defended Settlement
An Iron Age multivallate defended settlement above the Whin Sill Crags at Spindlestone Heughs.
It is located on a naturally defensive position which takes advantage of the cliff edges formed by Spindlestone Heughs to the south east. The western edge is marked by a gully which runs from the cliff edge of the Heughs in a north west direction. The settlement is rectangular in shape and has two annexes on the north and west sides, the whole measures 150m east-west by 94m north-south. The north and west sides of the main enclosure are defined by two ramparts and the east side by a single rampart.
