EN0468 Yeavering Bell Camp, Northumberland
-
Description
....A large univallate contour fort situated at 355m OD enclosing the twin summits of Yeavering Bell. The name 'Yeavering' derives from Gefrin 'the hill of the goats'. ...The form of the roundhouse platforms are generally accepted as being late Bronze Age or early Iron Age. Finds from excavations raised the possibility of some occupation continuing into the 2nd century AD. More recently fragments of Samian Ware and late Roman coins have been discovered. The detail of Iron Age discoveries made by Hope-Taylor were never fully published.... -
