Home Farm is a moated site, roundhouse, enclosure and pits located 200 metres south-east of the Green of Invermay in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument comprises multiple archaeological features representing occupation and use across different periods. The moated site indicates post-medieval settlement activity, whilst the roundhouse suggests earlier prehistoric or proto-historic use of the location. Associated enclosure banks and pit features indicate a complex pattern of land use and habitation at this position in the Perthshire landscape.
The monument sits upon bedrock of the Arbuthnott-Garvock Group, sandstone strata interspersed with conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone formations. These rocks, formed during the Pragian period, underlie much of the local geology and would have influenced settlement patterns and agricultural potential in the area. The solid geology provides stable ground suitable for the construction of ditched defences and the establishment of enclosed settlement.
The site is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM8887. This recognition reflects its significance as evidence of human activity and settlement in Perthshire across multiple periods. The juxtaposition of post-medieval and earlier features at Home Farm demonstrates the continuity of site use and landscape occupation characteristic of many rural Scottish locations.
