Terrace Wood is a series of cultivation terraces located in Peeblesshire, Scotland. The terraces represent evidence of medieval or post-medieval agricultural practice, formed through the systematic terracing of sloping ground to create level surfaces suitable for arable cultivation. Such features are characteristic of intensive land use in the upland regions of the Scottish Borders, where communities worked to maximise productive capacity on marginal terrain. The terraces at Terrace Wood survive as linear earthwork features that demonstrate the historical organisation of agricultural space within the landscape.
