Hillfort in Northumberland

Remains of an Iron Age univallate hillfort are located at the top of Gallow Law. The earthworks are best preserved in the eastern and western part of the fort (in both of these sectors there are traces of entrances). The ramparts are heavily robbed and visible mostly as turf-covered slopes.
