Fawdon Hill defended settlement is an Iron Age hillfort situated on elevated terrain in Northumberland. The site comprises a univallate defence consisting of a single rampart and ditch enclosing an interior area, a characteristic form of fortified settlement from the later prehistoric period. The earthwork remains visible on the ground as a substantial archaeological feature, though like many such monuments its exact chronology and duration of occupation require further investigation. Such defended settlements served important functions as livestock enclosures, seasonal gathering places, and possibly centres of local authority during the Iron Age period.
