Camp Hill is an Iron Age fort situated approximately three hundred metres north of Braidwood Bridge in Midlothian, Scotland. The site comprises a univallate or bivallate earthwork with a defensive ditch, characteristic of fortified settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period in southern Scotland. The fort's position on elevated terrain reflects the strategic considerations typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region, where such installations served as centres for local authority and defence. The site remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age occupation in Midlothian and contributes to understanding the settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation of communities in the Scottish Lowlands during this period.
