Knock Hill fort is an Iron Age hillfort located in Berwickshire, Scottish Borders. The site occupies a defensible hilltop position characteristic of Iron Age settlement practices in south-east Scotland, likely dating to the later prehistoric period when such fortified settlements served as territorial centres or refuges for local communities. The fort's physical remains comprise defensive earthworks typical of the period, though its exact preservation state and detailed structural sequence would be evident from field survey records held by Historic Environment Scotland. As a scheduled monument, Knock Hill contributes to understanding the distribution and character of Iron Age fortified settlement in the Borders region during a period of significant social and economic development in northern Britain.
