Bogle Walls is a Iron Age fort located in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, situated within the landscape of the Borders region. The fort is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising multiple ramparts and ditches that enclose an interior settlement space, characteristic of the fortified settlements constructed during the Iron Age period in southern Scotland. The site represents an important example of the defensive architecture employed by local populations during the later prehistoric period, when such enclosed settlements served both protective and possibly administrative functions within their communities. The fort's physical remains, preserved as earthwork features in the landscape, contribute to understanding the distribution and nature of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Scottish Borders.
