Hartside, scooped homesteads 330m SSE of, is a prehistoric settlement site in Berwickshire, Scotland, consisting of a group of scooped or sunken homesteads typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Scottish Borders. The site is characterised by shallow depressions in the landscape that mark the positions of former dwelling structures, representing domestic occupation during the later prehistoric period. Scooped homesteads of this type are thought to have been created through a combination of deliberate excavation and the accumulation of debris from occupation, resulting in the characteristic hollowed appearance visible in the archaeological landscape. The site forms part of the broader pattern of dispersed domestic settlement that characterised the pre-Roman Iron Age in this region of southeast Scotland.
