Multivallate hillfort is an Iron Age defensive settlement situated approximately 70 metres east of Campville in Northumberland. The monument is characterised by multiple concentric earthwork banks and ditches, a defensive arrangement typical of later prehistoric hillforts in northern Britain. The site's multivallate design suggests construction during the later Iron Age period, when such elaborate fortifications were increasingly common in the region. The surviving earthworks represent a substantial investment in labour and engineering, indicating the settlement's strategic importance and the social organisation of its Iron Age inhabitants.
