Camp 500yds (460m) NW of Chesterhill is a prehistoric enclosed settlement located in Northumberland. The site comprises an irregular enclosure defined by substantial earthwork defences, typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in northern Britain. Its precise dating and cultural attribution remain subjects of archaeological study, though the morphology of the surviving earthworks suggests occupation during the later prehistoric period. The monument represents an important example of defensive settlement architecture from the Iron Age in the North East of England.
