Clerklands Fort is an Iron Age hillfort situated in Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders. The site comprises a fortified enclosure defined by defensive earthworks typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in south-east Scotland, dating to the later prehistoric period. Its physical character reflects the defensive and administrative functions characteristic of such hillforts during the Iron Age, when they served as focal points for territorial control and community organisation. The fort's location within Roxburghshire places it within a landscape rich in Iron Age settlement, contributing to understanding of prehistoric settlement distribution and social hierarchy in this region.
