Simonside camp is a prehistoric hillfort located on Simonside Hill in Northumberland. The site consists of a substantial ramparted enclosure positioned on high ground, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in northern Britain. The camp commands extensive views across the surrounding landscape, typical of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period to control territory and provide refuge for local populations. Its physical remains demonstrate the strategic importance of elevated positions in northern English prehistory, though detailed archaeological investigation would be required to establish more precise chronological and functional details.
