The Norse Camp is a large hillfort situated in Northumberland, England. The site consists of a substantial enclosure defined by earthwork defences, representing settlement or defensive activity during the Iron Age period. Its name reflects a later traditional attribution to Norse occupation, though the archaeological evidence points to prehistoric rather than Viking Age origins. The monument remains an important example of Iron Age fortified settlement in northern England and is protected as a scheduled monument.
