I have developed a number of apps using MonoTouch, and been using the emulator for the iPhone, now I need to deploy me application to my iPhone for further testing.
I have purchased the iPhone SDK from Apple, but I can't find how to deploy and activate the MonoTouch application to my iPhone.
Any pointers please?

You cannot develop iOS apps without a Mac computer, but you can set up CI/CD to handle building and publishing!
Whether it's a cloud-based Mac or a virtual machine Mac on VirtualBox, you need macOS to run Xcode. So please, don't try to develop iOS apps on windows.
As has been already stated you obviously need the paid version of MonoTouch and the iPhone SDK. Once you have those sorted you need to create a developer certificate in the iPhone developer portal, download it to your dev machine and add it into your keychain.
Once you have done that you must create a provisioning profile for your physical device, which again you do through the developer portal. Once you have the provisioning profile, download that to your machine, and add it to the iPhone via the Organiser app in XCode.
Then fire up MonoDevelop, and if it's all gone to plan then you should have the option of deploying the build to your iPhone. You can check that MonoDevelop has correctly detected your certs by opening up the Project Options window and under the Build section and under iPhone Bundle Signing, you should see your developer cert and provisioning profile.

Here are the MonoTouch docs on building for distribution

It is my understanding that you have to have the Monotouch deployment license from Novell to deploy to a device.
