Castle Hill camp is a univallate hillfort located in Northumberland, England. The site comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an area on elevated ground, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in northern Britain. The monument dates to the Iron Age period and represents the type of enclosed settlement that would have served defensive and possibly administrative functions for communities in prehistoric Northumberland. Such hillforts were typically occupied during the later Iron Age, though their use sometimes extended into the Romano-British period.
