Tanlawhill is a post-medieval farmstead and cultivation remains situated 950 metres east-south-east of Dumfriesshire in south-western Scotland. The site occupies wacke bedrock of the Hawick Group, a Wenlock-age formation that characterises much of the Scottish Borders landscape. This solid geology underlies the agricultural land that would have supported the farmstead's operations during the early modern period.
The site comprises the physical remains of a working farm and its associated field systems. Post-medieval farmsteads of this type typically feature building footprints, field boundaries, and traces of crop cultivation or pasture management. The survival of these landscape features indicates sustained agricultural use during a period of significant change in rural settlement patterns across southern Scotland.
The remains are protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland's designation SM4695, reflecting their value in understanding early modern farming practices and settlement organisation in the Scottish Borders. Sites such as Tanlawhill document the evolution of agriculture and land use during the 16th to 18th centuries, a formative period in the development of the modern rural landscape of Dumfriesshire.
