Abstract:		 In August 2000, English Heritage carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of the Iron Age hillfort at Great Hetha in the Northumberland National Park. The defences of the hillfort, which comprise two banks of stone rubble, completely encircles the summit of Great Hetha. The outer rampart encloses an area of 0.8ha (1.9 acres) and it appears to overlie the remains of an earlier enclosure. The inner rampart encloses an area of 0.4ha (1 acre) and contains nine circular hut platforms of probable Iron Age date. Within the space between the ramparts at the north-east are the rubble foundations of a more recent shelter and adjacent animal pen. There is extensive evidence of quarrying inside and around the hillfort and some 130m to the west of the fort there is preserved a denuded bank, which may be a prehistoric cross-ridge dyke. (This was report number 3/2001 in a previous series).
