Brandon Dean camp is a scheduled ancient monument located in Northumberland, England. The site represents an Iron Age hillfort or enclosed settlement, demonstrating defensive or communal functions typical of the later prehistoric period in northern Britain. The monument's earthwork remains consist of substantial banks and ditches that define its enclosure, evidence of considerable investment in construction and maintenance during its period of occupation. Like many hillforts of its era, Brandon Dean reflects the social organisation and settlement patterns of Iron Age communities in the region, though detailed excavation records specific to this site are limited in the broader scholarly literature.
