New Greenhill Fort is an Iron Age hillfort located in Selkirkshire in the Scottish Borders. The site comprises a substantial earthwork defensive structure characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in southern Scotland, with pronounced ramparts and ditches forming its principal defensive features. The fort dates to the Iron Age period, representing a significant example of contemporary fortified settlement in the region during the pre-Roman era. Such hillforts served defensive, administrative, and possibly ceremonial functions within Iron Age societies, though the specific chronology and duration of occupation at New Greenhill remain subjects for archaeological investigation.
