St Gregory's Hill camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Northumberland. The monument consists of a hilltop enclosure defined by defensive earthworks, comprising an outer bank and ditch system characteristic of Iron Age fortifications in northern Britain. The site commands views across the surrounding landscape and represents the strategic settlement patterns of Iron Age communities in the region. Such hillforts functioned as defended settlements and centres of control during the later prehistoric period, typically constructed between the 6th and 1st centuries BC.
