Mound on Hamilton Hill is a prehistoric or early medieval earthwork located in Nottinghamshire. The monument consists of a substantial mound which survives as a prominent topographical feature. Such mounds in the English landscape often represent either Bronze Age burial cairns, Iron Age hill fort defences, or early medieval administrative or defensive structures, though the precise chronology and function of this particular example would require archaeological investigation to determine with certainty. The site's survival as a recognisable earthwork demonstrates its historical importance as a landscape marker across successive periods of occupation and use in the region.
