Martinlee Sike is a post-medieval farmstead located in Roxburghshire, Scotland, comprising a residential holding together with associated field systems and assart bank evidence. The site dates to the post-medieval period and represents the agricultural organisation of a rural settlement during this era. The assart bank, a linear earthwork marking the clearance and cultivation boundary of previously uncultivated land, indicates the expansion of arable farming at Martinlee, whilst the field system demonstrates the management of enclosed agricultural land around the farmstead. The remains reflect the characteristic settlement patterns and land-use practices of post-medieval Roxburghshire, where such farmsteads formed the basis of rural settlement and subsistence.
