Clifford's Fort is a small fortified structure located in Northumberland, dating to the English Civil War period of the seventeenth century. The site represents one of several defensive positions constructed during the conflict to control strategically important territory in the North of England. The fort's physical remains reflect the military engineering practices of the Civil War era, though the extent of surviving structures varies. Like many comparable fortifications from this period, Clifford's Fort served as a temporary military installation and testament to the regional upheaval that characterised the mid-seventeenth century.
