Black Meldon

Black Meldon is a prehistoric site, a hillfort near the village of Lyne and about 4 mi west of Peebles, in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. It is a Scheduled Monument.

The hillfort on the neighbouring hill White Meldon is about 1 mi to the east, on the other side of Meldon Burn.

Description
The hill has elevation 407 m. There is a gentle slope from the summit on the west side, steeper on other sides. The roughly oval fort on the summit is 73 m north–south and 40 m west–east, defined by a boundary wall, which is now a band of debris about 3 m wide. On the north, west and south sides there is the debris of an outer wall.

Within the fort, at least seven ring-groove houses exist, five lying in a straight line along the north-south axis, ranging from 7m to 10m in diameter. The feature is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
