Brough Law, Ingram, Northumberland.

Historic England describes Brough Law Hillfort as “…a massive multivallate hillfort probably dating to the late Iron Age. It has three lines of defense (sic) in the form of stone walls and rubble core banks, as well as several entrances.”

In the photo cultivation terraces are clearly visible below the summit left.
