Balkeerie is an unenclosed settlement located approximately 900 metres south-south-west of Newmill in Angus, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of domestic structures dating to the later prehistoric or early historic period, characteristic of settlement patterns found across eastern Scotland during the Iron Age and early medieval centuries. Unenclosed settlements of this type typically represent permanent or semi-permanent occupation by farming communities and are distinguished from their fortified counterparts by the absence of defensive earthworks or palisading. The site's preservation and archaeological record contribute to understanding rural settlement distribution and domestic organisation in Angus during this formative period of Scottish prehistory and protohistory.
