Two forts S.E. and S.S.E. of Chippermore is a pair of Iron Age defensive structures located in Wigtownshire, southwestern Scotland. The monuments consist of fortified enclosures characteristic of the Iron Age period, when such hillforts and enclosed settlements served as centres of habitation, defence, and territorial control across the region. Their positioning relative to Chippermore reflects the strategic settlement patterns of Iron Age communities in the Machars peninsula, an area rich in evidence of prehistoric occupation. The forts remain significant archaeological features for understanding the military organisation and settlement hierarchy of Iron Age Galloway.
