Auchope scooped homestead is an Iron Age domestic settlement located in Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders. The site consists of a substantial hollow or scoop cut into the hillside, a characteristic construction method employed in prehistoric and early historic periods to provide shelter and drainage for domestic structures. Scooped homesteads of this type typically date from the Iron Age, reflecting patterns of settlement and land use across lowland Scotland during this period. The monument survives as an earthwork feature and contributes to understanding of domestic architecture and settlement patterns in the region during the first millennium before Christ.
