Sourhope is a prehistoric settlement site in Roxburghshire, Scotland, comprising scooped homesteads located approximately 200 metres north-east and 300 metres east-north-east of the main settlement area. The scooped homesteads represent a form of Iron Age or Romano-British domestic settlement, characterised by sunken or recessed dwelling platforms cut into the landscape. These sites demonstrate the settlement patterns of upland communities during the later prehistoric period, with the scooped construction technique providing structural stability and shelter on exposed terrain. The site contributes to understanding of prehistoric settlement distribution and adaptation strategies in the Scottish Borders region.
