Fasset Hill is a palisaded settlement located in Roxburghshire, Scotland, designated as a monument of Iron Age date. The site is characterised by the remains of a substantial timber-built defensive enclosure, indicative of the settlement hierarchy and fortification practices of Iron Age communities in the Scottish Borders. Such palisaded settlements represent an important phase in prehistoric Scottish settlement patterns, demonstrating the establishment of defended domestic and possibly administrative centres during the later prehistoric period. The monument contributes to understanding of pre-Roman Iron Age settlement organisation in the Borders region.
