Broughtonknowe is a Post-Medieval ring enclosure and barrow situated 420 metres north-east of Broughtonknowe in Peeblesshire. The monument comprises earthwork remains characteristic of ring enclosures, a defensive or boundary feature, alongside a barrow that may preserve earlier burial traditions despite the Post-Medieval date attribution. The site's physical form, consisting of concentric or substantial circular banks, demonstrates the continued use of such enclosure types in the region during the Post-Medieval period. The survival of these earthworks provides evidence for settlement patterns and land use in the Scottish Borders during this era.
