Buckton Moor North camp is an Iron Age hillfort located in Northumberland, England. The site consists of a defended enclosure positioned on moorland terrain, characteristic of the fortified settlements constructed during the Iron Age period in northern Britain. The camp's earthwork defences would have served both defensive and territorial functions for the Iron Age community that occupied it. Such moorland camps represent an important category of archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns and social organisation in prehistoric northern England.
