Glenwhappen Rig is a post-medieval palisaded enclosure located approximately 1450 metres north-east of Glenbreck in Peeblesshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a timber palisade structure characteristic of the post-medieval period, a phase of fortification that reflects the defensive and territorial concerns of early modern Scotland. The site's remote upland location suggests a pastoral or agricultural function, typical of enclosed settlements or stock management facilities from this era. The surviving archaeological remains provide evidence of settlement patterns and land use in the Scottish Borders during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.
