Enclosure on Old Fawdon Hill is a prehistoric earthwork monument located in Northumberland. The site comprises an enclosed area defined by ditches and banks, characteristics typical of Iron Age or Bronze Age settlement patterns in northern England. Such enclosures served defensive, administrative, or communal functions within their respective periods, though the precise dating and specific purpose of this particular example would require archaeological survey and investigation to establish with certainty. The monument's survival as an earthwork feature makes it a valuable record of prehistoric land use and settlement organisation in the Northumbrian landscape.
