High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yeavering Bell is a twin-peaked hill near the River Glen in Northumberland, England. The hill, 361 metres above sea level, is encircled by the wall of a late-prehistoric hillfort, a tribal centre of the Votadini called in Brythonic and Old Welsh Din Gefron, from which the current name stems (Old English geafringa-). The hillfort enclosure was constructed in two phases, according to a recent survey by English Heritage. The 'roundhouses' within the fort suggests communal living but these need not all have been dwellings. The differing size of these buildings may have indicated the status of their original occupants. Interestingly, the buildings making up the hillfort would have been bright pink when first constructed, being made from local andesite. This stone is pink when quarried and turns, after a few years' exposure to the elements, to a dull grey.
