Henry's Brae Fort is an Iron Age hillfort located in Peeblesshire in the Scottish Borders. The fort occupies a defensible hilltop position and is characterized by substantial ramparts and ditches typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in south-central Scotland. The site demonstrates the settlement patterns and defensive strategies employed by Iron Age communities in the Borders region, a landscape rich in contemporary fortified sites.
