Skid Hill fort is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in East Lothian, Scotland. The site comprises a hillfort with defensive earthwork features characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in southeast Scotland, dating to the period broadly between the 8th and 1st centuries BC. Like other contemporary forts in the region, it would have served as a defended settlement and focus for local communities during the later prehistoric period. The fort's physical remains reflect the defensive priorities of Iron Age populations in the Scottish Lowlands during a period of significant social and economic development.
