Glenbreck platform settlements is a group of ancient settlement platforms located approximately 1100 metres southwest of Glenbreck in Peeblesshire, Scotland. These earthwork remains represent domestic occupation sites, likely dating to the prehistoric or early historic period, consisting of artificially levelled ground surfaces cut into the hillside to create level building platforms. The settlements exemplify the upland settlement strategies employed in the Scottish Borders, where such platforms were constructed to maximise usable domestic space on sloping terrain. The site is recorded within the Historic Environment Scotland database under INSPIRE reference SM2981.
