Lindean is a prehistoric earthwork located in Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders. The site comprises an enclosure formed by substantial banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in the region. Its precise date within the prehistoric period remains uncertain without excavation, though morphological comparison with similar Scottish earthworks suggests occupation during the later prehistoric era. The monument represents an important example of ancient territorial organisation and settlement patterns in the Borders landscape.
