Thowliestane Hill is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located in Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders. The fort is defended by multiple concentric ramparts and ditches, a defensive arrangement characteristic of later Iron Age settlements in southeast Scotland dating to the final centuries before the Roman conquest. The site commands views across the surrounding landscape, typical of the strategic positioning favoured for such fortifications. The monument represents an important example of native settlement hierarchy and territorial control during the Iron Age period in this region.
