Newmill Ring Ditch, situated approximately 600 metres south-west of Newmill in Angus, Scotland, is a prehistoric ring ditch of Bronze Age date. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular ditch that originally enclosed a domestic or ceremonial space, typical of settlement and ritual sites from this period in Scotland. Ring ditches of this type frequently served as the boundary features of roundhouses or as markers for significant activity areas during the Bronze Age, and this example contributes to the archaeological understanding of prehistoric occupation and land use in Angus. The site's preservation as an upstanding or sub-surface archaeological feature makes it valuable for future investigative work and for understanding the distribution of Bronze Age settlement in the eastern Scottish lowlands.
