Uplaw Knowe palisaded settlement, scheduled monument Northum 650. Palisaded settlements are the only evidence for domestic settlement for the first half of the first millennium BC in northern England and there were less than fifty known examples in England in 1983. This example is a very slight earthwork site situated in an upland area with much evidence of prehistoric activity. In brief, the monument is important for its period, rarity, fragility and association with other monuments and archaeological potential. (2)
