Overview

History & significance

Prehistoric settlement, 200m ENE of Northhope Haugh is a Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation site in Roxburghshire, Scottish Borders. The settlement occupies ground underlain by Hawick Group wacke, a sedimentary rock formed during the Wenlock period of the Silurian. This geology is characteristic of the Southern Uplands and would have presented a challenging landscape for early settlement, with thin soils overlying hard stone suitable for tool manufacture. The site's location in this upland terrain suggests its inhabitants exploited the moorland environment for pastoral activities and hunting, typical of prehistoric communities in the Scottish Borders. The settlement is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM2529, recognising its importance for understanding prehistoric land use and settlement patterns in this region.
