Middlehill Fort is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Midlothian, Scotland. The site comprises a univallate or multivallate enclosure, typical of Iron Age hill fort construction in the region, though the precise details of its defensive arrangements remain subject to archaeological interpretation. The fort dates to the Iron Age period, when such fortified sites served as centres of settlement, defence, and territorial control across southeastern Scotland. Its location within Midlothian reflects the broader distribution of Iron Age fortifications across the Lothian region, contributing to understanding of settlement patterns and social organisation during this period.
