Redden is a fort and enclosure situated in Roxburghshire, southern Scotland, approximately 750 metres east of the settlement from which it takes its name. The monument dates to the Iron Age and comprises defensive earthworks typical of the period, when hillforts and enclosed settlements were established across the Borders region. The site occupies ground underlain by bedrock of the Inverclyde Group, a geological formation comprising sandstone, siltstone and mudstone deposited during the Carboniferous period. This varied geology would have influenced both the construction of the earthworks and the drainage characteristics of the site. Redden fort and enclosure is protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland's designation SM5601, recognising its archaeological importance as evidence of Iron Age settlement and defensive strategies in the Scottish Borders landscape.
