Castle Hill, earthwork is a prehistoric or early medieval fortified site located in Selkirkshire, Scotland. The monument comprises an earthwork defence system, likely consisting of ramparts or banks that would have enclosed and protected a settlement or stronghold. Its precise dating remains uncertain, though such earthworks in the Scottish Borders region are typically associated with either Iron Age or early medieval occupation periods. The site represents an important example of fortification strategy in the Borders landscape, though further archaeological investigation would be required to establish its exact chronology and the nature of settlement it once contained.
