Enclosure on Old Fawdon Hill is a prehistoric earthwork located in Northumberland. The monument comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosed area defined by a substantial bank and ditch, typical of Iron Age defensive settlements in northern Britain, though the site may also incorporate earlier Bronze Age activity. The enclosure's exact chronology requires archaeological investigation, but its morphology places it within the tradition of hillfort construction practised across the region during the later prehistoric period. Such enclosed settlements served defensive, administrative, and ceremonial functions within their contemporary communities.
