Braemoor Knowe is a set of ancient cultivation terraces located in Roxburghshire, Scotland. The terraces represent evidence of prehistoric or early medieval agricultural practice, with the parallel linear earthworks characteristic of hand-dug field systems designed to manage slope cultivation and improve water drainage on sloping terrain. Such features are commonly associated with periods of sustained upland settlement and farming activity, though the precise dating of this particular site requires archaeological evidence. The terraces remain visible as subtle ridge and furrow formations that demonstrate the historical use of this Borders landscape for arable agriculture.
