Abstract:		 In November 2001, English Heritage carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of the Iron Age hillfort on Staw Hill in the Northumberland National Park. The hillfort, which is probably Iron Age in date, is well preserved and comprises the remains of an enclosure formed by a single stone-built rampart with an additional rampart around the south and west sides only. There is evidence of re-use of the site as a settlement in the Romano-British period. Within the main enclosure are the traces of four circular buildings. Two of these are visible as platforms which are likely to have formed the stances for circular timber structures and which are probably contemporary with the hillfort, and two have stone foundations and belong to the Romano-British phase of occupation on the site. On the slopes to the north are a number of cultivation terraces which may be contemporary with the hillfort. Later activity on the site is evidenced by two, possibly three medieval or post-medieval sheilings, associated paddocks, and cultivation remains. (This was report number 17/2002 in a previous series).
