Old Fawdon Hill West camp is a prehistoric hilltop settlement located in Northumberland. The site comprises an Iron Age fortified enclosure, evidenced by surviving earthwork defences that mark the perimeter of the settlement. Its position on elevated terrain reflects the strategic settlement patterns characteristic of Iron Age communities in northern Britain, where high ground provided both defensive advantage and visibility across the surrounding landscape. The monument represents an important record of pre-Roman settlement organisation in the region during the later prehistoric period.
