Knowe Kniffling is a Iron Age fort situated in Peeblesshire in the Scottish Borders. The site consists of a univallate hillfort with a single defensive rampart enclosing the summit of a naturally prominent location, a form typical of Iron Age settlement in south-central Scotland. The fort's construction and occupation likely date to the later Iron Age period, though precise chronological determination would require archaeological investigation. Its strategic position reflects the defensive priorities and territorial organisation characteristic of Iron Age communities in the region.
