Overview

History & significance

Home Farm is a post-medieval moated site located 200 metres south-east of the Green of Invermay in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises a moated enclosure together with the remains of a roundhouse, additional enclosure features, and associated pits, indicating a settlement of some complexity. The moat itself represents a defensive or status-marking feature characteristic of medieval and post-medieval Scottish rural settlements, whilst the roundhouse element suggests an earlier Iron Age or medieval domestic structure that may have been utilised or reoccupied during the post-medieval period. The assemblage of features indicates sustained occupation and use of this location across potentially multiple periods, with the post-medieval phase representing the final or most archaeologically evident phase of activity at the site.
