Stotfield is a series of ancient cultivation terraces located in Roxburghshire, Scottish Borders. The terraces represent a form of agricultural land management practised over centuries in upland and marginal terrain, where successive parallel banks were created to maximise arable cultivation on sloping ground. Such features are typically medieval or post-medieval in date, though their exact chronology at this location remains subject to archaeological assessment. The terraces survive as a landscape archaeological monument demonstrating the intensification of farming practices in the Scottish uplands during periods of expanding settlement and agricultural activity.
