Old Redhead is a deserted settlement located in Selkirkshire, Scotland, comprising the earthwork remains of a former rural habitation. The site exhibits the characteristic features of a medieval or early modern farming community, with visible archaeological traces indicating its abandonment and subsequent degradation over centuries. As with many such settlements in the Scottish Borders, Old Redhead represents the pattern of rural depopulation and landscape change that affected the region during the medieval and early modern periods. The precise dating of occupation and the specific causes of desertion remain subjects for archaeological investigation, though the site's survival as earthwork evidence preserves an important record of historical settlement patterns in Selkirkshire.
