Amisfield Mains ring ditch is a prehistoric circular earthwork located approximately one kilometre west of Amisfield Mains in East Lothian, Scotland. Ring ditches of this type typically date to the Bronze Age and represent the remains of domestic or ceremonial structures, though the specific chronology of this example requires archaeological assessment. The monument comprises a circular ditch, which would originally have enclosed a structure or defined a bounded space of ritual or domestic significance. Such sites form part of the wider Bronze Age settlement pattern documented across East Lothian and contribute to understanding prehistoric land use and social organisation in south-east Scotland.
