Campshead is an unenclosed platform settlement located approximately 800 metres west-north-west of its designated reference point in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site comprises platforms cut into the hillside, a characteristic feature of prehistoric domestic settlements in upland Scotland, typically dating to the Bronze Age or Iron Age periods. Such unenclosed platforms represent domestic occupation where communities built habitations without the defensive surrounding structures of enclosed settlements or hillforts. The archaeological evidence from similar sites in the region suggests these settlements were in use during the later prehistoric period, reflecting patterns of land use and settlement organisation in the Scottish Lowlands during the Bronze Age and Iron Age.
