Crow Hill is a Iron Age hillfort situated in Northamptonshire. The site preserves evidence of occupation spanning from the Iron Age through the Roman period and into the Medieval era, indicating sustained human settlement across multiple centuries. The hillfort itself displays the characteristic defensive earthworks typical of Iron Age construction, which continued to hold significance through subsequent Roman occupation before later Medieval activity further modified the landscape.
