Kip Knowe Fort is an Iron Age fortification located in Roxburghshire, Scotland. The site comprises a defended enclosure typical of the Iron Age period in the Scottish Borders, representing a form of settlement or stronghold characteristic of the late prehistoric communities of south-eastern Scotland. The fort's earthwork defences, consisting of ramparts and ditches, reflect the defensive requirements and social organisation of Iron Age societies in this region during the first millennium before the Common Era. Such fortified sites served important roles as centres of authority, refuge, or territorial markers within the landscape of Iron Age Britain.
