Downham Camp is a prehistoric earthwork located in Northumberland, England. The site consists of a univallate hillfort with a single defensive bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age fortifications in northern Britain. Its precise dating remains uncertain, though such structures in the region are typically attributed to the Iron Age period, roughly between the eighth and first centuries BC. The camp occupies a defensible hilltop position typical of settlements constructed during this era for protection and territorial control.
