Martinlee Sike is a Post-Medieval enclosure bank and field system located in Roxburghshire, Scotland. The monument comprises an enclosure bank, associated field system, cairns, and an old road, which together represent the agricultural organisation and land use of the Post-Medieval period in the Scottish Borders. The enclosure bank and field boundaries are characteristic of the reorganisation of rural land that occurred across the region during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, reflecting changing patterns of pastoral and arable farming. The site's cairns and old road provide additional evidence of human activity and movement through the landscape during this period, contributing to our understanding of rural settlement and communication networks in Post-Medieval Roxburghshire.
