Scope and Content Hill-fort and Watch tower at Eildon Hill North, Scottish Borders This native hill-fort and Roman watch tower stand on the summit of Eildon Hill North. The fort is the largest in Scotland, and had at least three phases of occupation. All pre-date the Roman tower, which stands at the W end of the summit. This is an aerial view of the site. The defensive ditches and ramparts surrounding the summit can be clearly seen. The earliest phase just surrounded the summit of the hill. By the third phase, three ramparts and ditches surrounded the whole hill. Some excavation has been done on the site. A number of hut circles were identified inside the fort. Some Roman material was also recovered. This included a tile which may have come from the wooden watch tower, or may represent a later, stone-built tower. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
