Huntly Burn is a series of ancient earthworks located in Roxburghshire, Scotland, representing archaeological remains of uncertain but likely prehistoric or early medieval date. The site comprises linear features and banks whose precise function and chronology require further archaeological investigation, though such earthworks in the Borders region frequently relate to settlement, land division, or defensive structures. The monument's survival as visible surface features indicates its significance within the local landscape archaeology of the Scottish Borders, warranting its protection under the Historic Environment Record. Further documentary or excavated evidence would be necessary to establish the specific period and purpose of these earthworks with greater certainty.
