Eildon Hill North is a multiphase fortified site in Roxburghshire, Scotland, occupied during the Iron Age and later adapted for Roman use. The Iron Age fort, dating to the later prehistoric period, comprises a substantial hilltop settlement enclosed by multiple rampart systems and covering approximately five hectares. Following the Roman conquest of southern Scotland, a Roman signal station was installed on the site, typically dated to the late first century AD, forming part of the military infrastructure supporting the Roman frontier in the region. The site commands extensive views across the Borders landscape, making it strategically significant for both Iron Age settlement patterns and Roman military communications.
