Elm Knowe is a settlement in Roxburghshire, Scotland, whose archaeological record indicates occupation during the Iron Age and possibly extending into the Roman period. The site comprises the earthwork remains of domestic structures characteristic of prehistoric settlement patterns in the Borders region, with evidence suggesting a nucleated or dispersed settlement form typical of Iron Age communities in southern Scotland. The archaeological designation and preservation of the site reflect its importance to understanding settlement hierarchies and economic organisation in the Scottish Borders during the pre-Roman Iron Age and the period of Roman contact.
