Low Chibburn is a complex archaeological site in Northumberland comprising remains of a medieval preceptory, a sixteenth-century domestic structure, and a twentieth-century military installation. The preceptory belonged to the Knights Hospitaller and represents an important example of medieval monastic land management in northern England. The later domestic building reflects the site's continued occupation and adaptation following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. A concrete pillbox constructed during the Second World War demonstrates the strategic importance of the Northumberland coast during the 1940s and the layering of different historical periods across this location.
