Camp Tops is a linear earthwork located in Roxburghshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a substantial bank and ditch formation that runs across the landscape, characteristic of defensive or territorial earthworks of the prehistoric or early historic period. Such linear features in the Borders region are often associated with Bronze Age or Iron Age activity, though the precise dating of Camp Tops requires archaeological investigation. The earthwork's condition and morphology suggest it functioned as a boundary marker, defensive line, or livestock enclosure within the wider settlement pattern of the region.
