Milkieston Rings

Milkieston Rings is a prehistoric site, a hillfort near the village of Eddleston and about 3 mi north of Peebles, in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. It is a Scheduled Monument.

Description
The fort is on Milkieston Hill, a broad spur projecting north-west from Cavarra Hill. There has been quarrying and stone-robbing of the site, such that interpretation is difficult; two or three phases of construction have been suggested.

There are two inner ramparts, which are now low stony banks; the innermost encloses a space about 49 m north-north-west to south-south-east by 37 m, an area of 0.13 ha. About a quarter of the interior of the fort has been severely damaged by quarrying; there are traces of two probable house-platforms in the remaining part. There are three or four outer ramparts, built subsequently.
