Reaveley Hill settlement is a prehistoric enclosed settlement located in Northumberland.

Dating to the Iron Age, the settlement represents a significant example of nucleated settlement patterns in northern Britain during the pre-Roman period. The monument demonstrates the continued occupation and organisation of upland communities in Northumberland during later prehistory.
