Overview

History & significance

Flodden camp is a medieval fortified camp located in Northumberland, England, situated near the site of the Battle of Flodden Field fought in 1513. The earthwork comprises a substantial defensive enclosure formed by banks and ditches, which may represent preparations for conflict or post-battle fortifications associated with this significant engagement between English and Scottish forces. The camp's precise dating and construction sequence remain subjects of archaeological study, though its location in proximity to the battlefield suggests a direct relationship to early sixteenth-century military operations. The monument survives as an important physical record of medieval warfare and military organisation in the Border region.
