Evelaw is a post-medieval farmstead and cultivation remains located in Berwickshire, Scotland, approximately 650 metres west-south-west of the main settlement. The site sits upon bedrock of the Gala Group, a formation of wacke laid down during the Telychian period, which characterises much of the Southern Uplands geology in this region.
The farmstead represents the agricultural settlement pattern typical of post-medieval rural Berwickshire, when dispersed homesteads became the dominant form of occupation across the Borders landscape. The associated cultivation remains visible at the site reflect the small-scale farming practices that sustained these isolated communities, likely comprising both arable and pastoral elements.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland under the reference SM4581, recognising its significance as evidence of post-medieval rural settlement and land use in the Scottish Borders. Such farmsteads contribute substantially to understanding how communities adapted to and exploited the upland and marginal terrain of Berwickshire during the early modern period.
