Witchy Neuk is a univallate hillfort and associated linear boundary situated approximately 600 metres west of Hepple Whitefield Farm in Northumberland. The monument comprises a single-vallate defensive work, indicating construction during the Iron Age period when such fortifications were typical of settlement hierarchies across northern Britain. The linear boundary element extends from the hillfort, a common feature of Iron Age landscape management and territorial demarcation. The site's precise dating and functional interpretation remain matters for local archaeological study, though its typology places it within the established pattern of Iron Age settlement in the North Pennine region.
