Selcoth is a scooped homestead located approximately 150 metres south-west of Selcoth in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The site comprises a sunken or scooped dwelling platform characteristic of prehistoric settlement patterns in southern Scotland, with the depression formed by the removal or compression of material during occupation. Such homesteads are typically associated with Iron Age or Romano-British periods, though precise dating for individual examples often remains uncertain without archaeological excavation. The monument's survival as an earthwork feature preserves evidence of domestic settlement practices in the upland margins of the region during the pre-medieval period.
