The pit alignment 150m east of Newton is a prehistoric linear monument located in Midlothian, Scotland. Pit alignments are rows of deliberately dug pits that typically date to the Bronze Age, though their precise function remains debated among archaeologists; interpretations include territorial markers, ritual boundaries, or ceremonial processional routes. The Newton alignment follows the pattern characteristic of such monuments, consisting of regularly spaced pits arranged in a linear configuration across the landscape. Such features represent significant evidence of Bronze Age land use and social organisation in the Lothian region.
