Hayhope Knowe is a post-medieval palisaded settlement located in Roxburghshire, Scotland. The site comprises a defended settlement with associated field systems, dating to the post-medieval period when such fortified homesteads were constructed across the Scottish Borders. The palisade represents a form of domestic fortification typical of frontier settlements in this region during a period of recurring instability. The associated field systems demonstrate the agricultural character of the settlement and its integration within the wider pastoral and arable landscape of the Borders.
