Calkin is a settlement site with associated cultivation terraces located three hundred metres north of the main settlement in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The terraced landscape indicates medieval or early modern agricultural use, with the terraces representing systematic management of sloping ground for arable cultivation. The site's physical character reflects the practical adaptation of hillside terrain to support farming activity, a common feature of rural settlement patterns in the Scottish Borders and Dumfriesshire during the medieval period. The cultivation terraces, in conjunction with the settlement remains, provide archaeological evidence of the organisation of land use and subsistence practices in this region during the pre-improvement agricultural era.
