Peace Knowe is an Iron Age fort situated in Linlithgowshire, Scotland. The site comprises a hilltop enclosure defended by ramparts characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in central Scotland, dating to the pre-Roman Iron Age period. Like other fortified settlements of its era in the region, Peace Knowe would have served as a focal point for local communities, providing defensive capability and centralised control over surrounding territory. The fort's physical remains reflect the construction methods and defensive strategies typical of Iron Age communities in lowland Scotland during the centuries immediately preceding Roman contact.
