Green Castle is a late Iron Age fort situated in the Newlands area of East Lothian, Scotland. The site comprises a defended enclosure dating to the later pre-Roman Iron Age, representing a significant settlement form in the region during the centuries immediately preceding the Roman occupation of Scotland. The fort's earthwork defences, consisting of one or more banks and ditches, demonstrate the strategic importance of the location within the local landscape. Such fortified settlements served as centres of authority, defence, and possibly communal activity for Iron Age communities in southeastern Scotland.
