Overview

History & significance

Frizles Linn is a settlement located 850 metres east-south-east of Newton in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The site sits on bedrock of the Stewartry Group, a geological formation of Early Permian age comprising sandstone, breccia and conglomerate. This mixed geology would have provided both building stone and a naturally drained location suitable for habitation. The settlement's position within the rolling landscape of upper Dumfriesshire reflects the pattern of rural occupation characteristic of this region, though the specific date and nature of settlement remain to be fully established through archaeological investigation. The site is protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland reference SM6193, ensuring the preservation of any structural remains and archaeological deposits that may survive beneath the present ground surface.
