Camserney enclosure and palisaded settlement is a Post-Medieval fortified site located in Wigtownshire, south-western Scotland. The settlement comprises an enclosure defended by a substantial palisade, representing a form of domestic fortification characteristic of the early modern period in southern Scotland. Such palisaded enclosures served both defensive and status-conferring functions during a period when local security concerns and territorial control remained significant factors in settlement design. The site's Post-Medieval date and architectural strategy reflect the transitional defensive strategies employed in the Scottish borders and south-west during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
