Four Hillforts of the Valley
Few Northumberland landscapes compress so much later prehistory into such a small compass as the slopes around Rothbury.
On the north side of the valley sit Old Rothbury Hillfort and West Hills Camp. On the south side are Tosson Burgh and Lordenshaws.
All four occupy carefully chosen spurs, knolls and terrace edges above the middle reaches of the River Coquet, and all are now protected as Scheduled Monuments.
