Smeaton Bridge pit alignment is a Bronze Age or Iron Age linear feature located approximately one hundred metres north-west of Smeaton Bridge in Midlothian, Scotland. The alignment consists of a series of pits arranged in a roughly linear pattern, a form of monument characteristic of prehistoric land division or territorial demarcation in lowland Scotland. Such pit alignments remain incompletely understood, though they are thought to represent boundaries, trackways, or ceremonial pathways dating broadly to the later prehistory of the region. The feature is recorded in the Historic Environment Record under the designation SM5672.
