Cocklawfoot is a post-medieval enclosure, farmstead and cultivation remains situated 250 metres north-north-east of the village in Roxburghshire, Scotland. The site preserves evidence of rural settlement and land management from the period following the medieval era, with visible earthworks marking the former field systems and domestic boundaries. The underlying bedrock comprises Silurian to Devonian extrusive rocks of mafic composition, formed during the Devonian period as lava and tuff deposits that underlie much of this Border region.
The farmstead occupies terrain shaped by these ancient volcanic deposits, which weather to create the moorland and pasture characteristic of the Scottish Borders. The visible remains include the enclosure boundaries that would have contained stock and defined working areas, alongside traces of cultivation associated with subsistence and commercial agriculture typical of post-medieval upland farming.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM5737, recognising its significance as evidence of the rural settlement patterns and farming practices that developed across the Borders during the early modern period.
