Woodhouse Hill is a hillfort of Iron Age date located in Peeblesshire, in the Scottish Borders region. The fort occupies a defensible hilltop position and comprises the characteristic earthwork defences typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in southern Scotland, consisting of ramparts and ditches that would have enclosed a domestic settlement. Such hillforts served as centres of power, refuge, and habitation during the Iron Age period, reflecting the social organization and defensive strategies of the pre-Roman peoples of the region. The site remains an important archaeological monument documenting the Iron Age settlement patterns and territorial organization of the Tweed Valley area.
