Henderland Hill Fort is a Iron Age hillfort located in Peeblesshire in the Scottish Borders region. The site comprises a hilltop enclosure defended by stone or earthen ramparts characteristic of Iron Age settlement hierarchies in south-eastern Scotland. Such fortifications typically date from the later first millennium BC and served defensive, administrative, or communal functions for Iron Age communities. The fort's position on elevated terrain would have provided both strategic visibility across the surrounding landscape and natural defensive advantages typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region.
