Change House is a post-medieval enclosure situated in Roxburghshire, south-eastern Scotland, located approximately 320 metres west-south-west of Change House itself. The monument is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM3366.
The enclosure lies upon bedrock of the Hawick Group, a formation of wacke deposited during the Wenlock epoch of the Silurian period. This hard, fine-grained sedimentary rock characterises much of the Southern Uplands geology in this region and would have presented considerable challenges for agricultural improvement and settlement expansion during the post-medieval period.
The enclosure represents land management and farming practice from the sixteenth century onwards, when such defined field boundaries became increasingly common across lowland and upland Scotland. The monument's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the continuity of land use patterns in the Scottish Borders across several centuries.
