Hawkshaw Farm is an unenclosed platform settlement located approximately 1240 metres east of its namesake farm in Peeblesshire, Scotland. The site comprises platforms cut into the hillside, a characteristic form of settlement construction employed during the later prehistoric and early medieval periods in the Scottish uplands. Such unenclosed platform settlements represent domestic occupation that lacked the defensive ditches and ramparts associated with fortified settlements, suggesting communities engaged in pastoral or mixed agrarian subsistence. The site's exact date of occupation remains uncertain without excavation, though similar settlements in the Borders region have been attributed to the Iron Age or early medieval period.
