Redden is a settlement situated in Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders, protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland. The site lies upon bedrock of the Inverclyde Group, a geological formation of Osagean age comprising sandstone, siltstone and mudstone. This underlying geology has influenced both the settlement's stability and the character of the landscape around it.
The settlement is positioned 60 metres south-east of the main site reference, occupying a location typical of rural habitation in the Borders. The solid foundation provided by the Inverclyde Group strata would have offered a reliable base for construction, whilst the mixed lithology of the underlying rocks has contributed to the varied soils of the surrounding terrain. Such geological conditions have supported settlement and agricultural activity throughout the area's history.
The monument's scheduling reflects its significance as an archaeological and historical resource. The specific location and preserved remains at Redden contribute to understanding patterns of settlement and land use in Roxburghshire. Protection of the site allows for potential future investigation and helps to maintain an important element of the region's cultural heritage landscape.
