Unenclosed settlement, 1180m SE of Mark is a prehistoric or early medieval residential site located in Wigtownshire, south-western Scotland. The settlement consists of a cluster of structures arranged without formal enclosure, a settlement form characteristic of certain periods of Scottish prehistory and the early medieval period. Such unenclosed settlements represent important evidence for understanding patterns of habitation, social organisation, and land use in south-western Scotland during the pre-Roman Iron Age or early historic periods. The site's archaeological significance lies in its potential to inform understanding of settlement distribution and domestic arrangement in this region during the Bronze Age, Iron Age, or early medieval centuries.
