Norman's Castle is a Iron Age dun located approximately 830 metres southwest of Stanhope in Peeblesshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular stone-built fortification characteristic of Iron Age settlement in the Scottish Borders, with defensive walls that would have enclosed a defended homestead. Duns of this type typically date to the later Iron Age, representing a period of increased settlement fortification in southern Scotland before the Roman occupation. The site exemplifies the domestic military architecture of pre-Roman Celtic communities in the region, serving as both a dwelling and defensive stronghold for a local elite family or group.
