Lawhead Hill Fort is an Iron Age hillfort situated approximately 630 metres north-north-west of Lawhead in Midlothian, Scotland. The site is defined by defensive earthworks characteristic of Iron Age settlement in the Lothian region, representing a period of fortified occupation that reflects the social and military organisation of Iron Age communities in south-eastern Scotland. The fort's position on elevated ground provided strategic advantage for settlement and defence during the Iron Age period, when such hillforts served as focal points for territorial control and communal activity.
