Wardhouse is a post-medieval settlement and associated field system located approximately 500 metres south-east of Home Farm in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of domestic occupation and surrounding agricultural land use dating to the post-medieval period, reflecting the settlement patterns and land management practices of rural Aberdeenshire during this era. The field systems evident at the site demonstrate the organisation of arable and pastoral agriculture characteristic of Scottish lowland farming communities in the centuries following the medieval period. Such settlements represent important archaeological evidence for understanding the development of the agricultural landscape and rural settlement hierarchy in early modern Scotland.
