Flodden Edge camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Northumberland near the village of Branxton. The monument comprises an approximately circular enclosure defined by a substantial earthen bank and ditch, positioned on elevated ground that commands views across the surrounding landscape. Dating to the Iron Age, the site represents a form of fortified settlement typical of the period in northern Britain. The camp's strategic location and defensive characteristics suggest it served both as a settlement and a place of refuge during a period of significant social and territorial organisation in prehistoric Northumberland.
