White Meldon is a platform settlement located approximately 640 metres north-west of White Meldon in Peeblesshire, Scottish Borders. The site comprises an artificial terrace or platform cut into the hillside, characteristic of settlements dating to the Iron Age and potentially continuing into the Roman period. Such platform settlements are typical of upland pastoral communities in southern Scotland, where the terraced construction served to create level building ground on sloping terrain. The site's location in the Peeblesshire uplands reflects the settlement patterns of communities exploiting marginal agricultural and pastoral resources during the Iron Age.
