Staw Hill defended settlement is a prehistoric fortified enclosure located in Northumberland, England. The site is defined by a substantial defensive earthwork comprising a bank and ditch system that encloses an irregular area, characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in northern Britain. Dating to the Iron Age period, the monument represents an important example of defended domestic occupation in the region, reflecting the established practice of fortifying settlements during this era. The physical remains, though subject to erosion and land use changes over subsequent centuries, retain sufficient archaeological integrity to contribute to understanding of Iron Age settlement hierarchy and land use in Northumberland.
