Chatton Law camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Northumberland in the North East of England. The site is situated on high ground and represents settlement activity during the Iron Age period. The monument is notable for the presence of cup and ring marked rocks, which are rock carvings of prehistoric date that predate the hillfort itself and indicate earlier Bronze Age or Neolithic activity in the locality. These carved stones represent an important archaeological indicator of the long history of human occupation and ritual practice in the surrounding landscape.
