Dod earthworks is a post-medieval fortified site situated on the right bank of the Allan Water in Roxburghshire, Scotland, approximately 670 metres west-southwest of the settlement of Dod. The earthworks comprise defensive linear features characteristic of early modern period fortifications, likely constructed during the sixteenth or seventeenth century when such earthen works were common along the Border regions. The site's location on the river bank suggests a position of strategic importance, possibly related to control of water transport or defence during the period of Anglo-Scottish conflict. The surviving earthwork features remain visible as raised banks and ditches which form part of the archaeological record of post-medieval military engineering in the Scottish Borders.
