An Iron Age Hillfort on Mid Hill, Northumberland: Survey Report
Author(s): A Oswald, David McOmish
In January and February 2002, English Heritage carried out archaeological survey and investigation of an Iron Age hillfort on Mid Hill in Northumberland. The hillfort is well preserved and comprises the remains of a single stone-built rampart with traces of as many as eleven circular buildings in the interior. On the slopes to the east and west of the hillfort, cultivation terraces thought to be of prehistoric origin are overlain by ploughing of probable medieval and post-medieval date. On the fairly level ground to the north-west, a tract of probable medieval ‘ridge and furrow’ fields seem to have been sub-divided into narrower strips in the post-medieval period.
