Huckhoe palisaded enclosure, defended settlement and Romano-British settlement, 550m north east of Bolam West Houses

The National Heritage List for England records Huckhoe palisaded enclosure, defended settlement and Romano-British settlement, 550m north east of Bolam West Houses as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Huckhoe palisaded enclosure is a multi-period site that includes a defended settlement and Romano-British elements, likely dating to the early medieval period. While primarily of archaeological significance, such sites are often associated in local folklore with fairy forts, believed to be entrances to the Otherworld or homes of supernatural beings.
