The Norse Camp is a hillfold settlement located in Northumberland, dating to the Viking period. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial earthen bank and ditch, positioned on elevated terrain that would have provided defensive advantage and visibility across the surrounding landscape. Archaeological investigation and place-name evidence suggest occupation during the Norse settlement period in northern England, though the precise chronology and extent of use remain subjects of ongoing study. The monument represents an important record of Viking-age settlement patterns in the region during the early medieval period.
