('A' NY 66739759) and 'B' NY 66779768) Earthworks Bran's Walls. (1)

Bran's Walls Irregular earthwork with single rampart approx 1 acre in area (Listed under native sites). (2)

(Listed under 'Enclosures of unusual character'). (3)

A double entrenchment called Brand's Walls occupying a ledge on the side of the hill. The defences on the upper side are very imperfect.
The northern compartment is somewhat oval with diameters of about 55 yards and 45 yards, with an additional compartment in the north end.
The southerly compartment is about 65 yards by 20 yards and is connected to the other by the remains of a wall.
Both enclosures, which have walls of earth and stones, appear to have been used as dwellings. (4)

Two small enclosures, that to the north about 1/3 acre in area, and the other to the south about 1/2 acre.
The earthwork to the south is dug into the hillside and has entrances at the north and south ends. The south entrance is flanked by two 'circular chambers'. There are several 'inner chambers' at the north end. This enclosure appears to have been built for residential purposes.
The north work appears to have been a cattle containing structure with a complex series of mounds at the north end. This earthwork also has two entrances but is not dug into the hillside in the same way as the south camp.
The earthworks appear to be prehistoric and are situated near an old drove road.
(Sketch plan accompanying article shows the south camp with four hut circles and the north camp with 2). (5)

Remains of two earthworks, situated at 1000 feet above OD, upon a north west facing slope of pasture moorland, gradient approx 1:5. The sites overlook the valley of the Kielder Burn, and lie just below the nearly level ground to the east. The nearest present water supply is the stream, 300m to the west, and approx 250 feet below the sites. Clark's Sike is 500m to the south and at the same height as the earthworks.
'A' NY 66739759. A long, narrow irregular-shaped enclosure, scooped into the hillside on the east side. There is an entrance at each end and the west side is bounded by a strong bank of earth and stones. The interior contains six hut circles, with diameters varying from 6m to 10m, an annexe has been added to the north end, and the banks are turned out either side of the entrance in the north east corner. The four southern hut circles are raised upon a platform.
'B' NY 66779768. An irregular shaped enclosure bounded by a bank of earth and stone, with evidence of scooping. There are two entrances in the east side. The interior is subdivided towards the north end, into two compartments, by a broad bank which contains two hut circles. There are a further six hut circles elsewhere within the interior. The diameters vary from 5m to 10m. The south west part of the interior is obscured by dense bracken which may hide traces of further occupation. There is a possible hut circle of 4.09m diameter in this area. The three southern most hut circles are raised above the interior upon a platform.
These earthworks appear to have been Homestead Settlements for several families with their stock.
There are no traces of a wall connecting the two sites as alleged by Authy 4. (6)

The enclosures are typical of the local native stonebuilt enclosed settlement. Sketch survey at 1:2500. (7)

This site is mainly as described in report of 8/8/56, though the three huts in the south east of 'B' are now barely discernible. There are slight traces of low banks to the north and east of the site but no evidence of lynchets or stone clearance to suggest these are remains of a field system.
Surveyed at 1:10.000. (8)
