Multivallate hillfort is a prehistoric defensive enclosure situated approximately 70 metres east of Campville in Northumberland. The monument is characterised by multiple concentric defensive ramparts and ditches, a construction method typical of Iron Age hillforts in northern Britain, though such multivallate structures occasionally continued in use into the Romano-British period. The earthworks demonstrate the investment in fortification that distinguished major settlement sites of the later prehistoric period, reflecting both territorial control and protection of substantial communities. The site's survival as upstanding earthwork remains affords important archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns and defensive strategies in Iron Age Northumberland.
