Borrowston Rig is a prehistoric linear earthwork and settlement complex located in Berwickshire, Scotland. The site comprises a substantial linear bank, characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age construction, together with associated hut circles that indicate domestic occupation during the later prehistoric period. The earthwork demonstrates the settlement patterns and land management practices of ancient communities in the Scottish Borders, with the linear element possibly serving defensive, territorial, or agricultural functions. The surviving archaeological remains provide evidence for understanding prehistoric settlement hierarchies and the use of landscape in southeastern Scotland.
