Newbarns is an ancient unenclosed settlement located in Angus, Scotland, comprising scattered structures situated approximately 190 metres south-south-east and 245 metres east-south-east of the main settlement focus. The site represents a form of prehistoric or early medieval settlement pattern common to northeast Scotland, where communities occupied open ground without formal defensive or boundary structures. The archaeological remains indicate domestic occupation over a sustained period, though the precise chronology and duration of habitation require further archaeological investigation to establish definitively.
