Fort, 225m NW of Raecleugh Head is a fortified position located in Berwickshire, Scotland. The site occupies ground underlain by conglomerate and interbedded sandstone of the Reston Group, bedrock formed during the Early Devonian period. This solid foundation of mixed sedimentary stone would have provided a naturally stable base for fortification works.
The fort is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM377, reflecting its archaeological and historical significance within the regional landscape. Its position northwest of Raecleugh Head places it within an area of strategic topographic interest in the Borders, where such fortified sites commonly commanded views across surrounding terrain.
The monument preserves evidence of defensive construction from the period in which it was occupied and utilised. The specific architectural form and dating of the fort would be determined through detailed archaeological survey and investigation, drawing upon the physical remains visible in the landscape and any finds recovered from the site.
