Harehope is a palisaded settlement situated in Peeblesshire, Scotland, approximately 730 metres north-north-east of the named location. The site consists of an Iron Age defensive enclosure defined by a palisade fence, a form of fortification characteristic of prehistoric settlement in the Scottish Borders region. Palisaded settlements of this type were typically inhabited during the later Iron Age, representing a phase of territorial consolidation and defended habitation prior to the Roman period. The physical remains define a substantial enclosed area consistent with communal occupation and stock management during this prehistoric phase of settlement in the Tweed valley.
