Cambo is a post-medieval settlement, enclosure and cultivation remains situated 600 metres north-north-west of in Fife, Scotland. The site is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland. The underlying bedrock comprises strata of the Inverclyde Group, a geological formation of Osagean age consisting of sandstone, siltstone and mudstone that would have influenced both drainage and the character of soils available for agriculture in this locality.
The monument represents the traces of human occupation and land use from the post-medieval period, a time when Scottish rural communities were actively reshaping their landscape through enclosure and settlement reorganisation. The combination of settlement structures, field enclosures and cultivation remains visible at Cambo demonstrates the integrated approach to farming and habitation typical of this era, when individual farms and their surrounding lands were being formally bounded and worked.
The scheduled monument status reflects the archaeological and historical significance of these remains as evidence of post-medieval rural life and agricultural practice in Fife. Such sites contribute importantly to understanding how communities exploited their local landscape and organised their working land during a formative period in Scottish agricultural history.
