Gray Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age earthwork situated in Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders. The monument consists of a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a bank and ditch, typical of defensive or ceremonial sites of prehistoric Scotland. Its precise dating and original function remain matters of archaeological interpretation, though such earthworks from this period commonly served as settlement sites, ritual centres, or territorial markers. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it an important archaeological record of prehistoric land use in the Borders region.
