Buckton Moor South camp is a prehistoric hillfold monument located in Northumberland, England. The site consists of an enclosed settlement defined by defensive earthworks, characteristic of Iron Age occupation in the region, likely dating to the later prehistoric period. The camp's physical remains comprise banks and ditches that once enclosed a substantial area, demonstrating the settlement hierarchy and territorial control practices of its inhabitants. Such upland enclosures in Northumberland represent important evidence of prehistoric land use and social organization in the north of Britain.
