Dabshead Hill is located to the north of Edgarhope wood N of Lauder in the Scottish borders.
At its centre is a triangulation point and a standing stone. There is also a hill fort there. The fort's ramparts are well-preserved and in places the stone used to construct them can be seen weathering out.
