White Castle fort is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in East Lothian, Scotland. The site consists of a univallate hill fort, defined by a single defensive rampart that encloses the hilltop settlement, typical of Iron Age defensive architecture in southeastern Scotland. The fort dates to the Iron Age period, when such fortified enclosures served as territorial centres and places of refuge for local populations. Like many hill forts of this region and period, White Castle represents the settlement patterns and defensive strategies employed by Iron Age communities in the Lothian area, though detailed archaeological investigation of the site remains limited in the published record.
