Tosson Burgh is a univallate hillfort situated approximately 450 metres west of Great Tosson in Northumberland, England. The site is defined by a single defensive rampart enclosing an irregular polygonal area, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in northern Britain. It dates to the Iron Age period, representing one of the defended settlements constructed during the later prehistoric era in the region. The hillfort's defensive earthwork demonstrates the strategic importance of elevated locations in this landscape during a period when such fortifications served as centres of habitation, refuge, and territorial control.
