Woodhall House is a standing structure located approximately 800 metres west of Woodhall Cottage in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site rests upon bedrock of the Scottish Coal Measures Group, a geological formation dating from the Moscovian period, which comprises mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, coal, ironstone and ferricrete. This underlying geology reflects the significant coal-bearing deposits characteristic of central Scotland during the late Carboniferous era.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland and holds the scheduled monument reference SM5282. This designation recognises its archaeological and historical importance within the local landscape. The specific positioning of Woodhall House within this coal-bearing geology suggests connections to the industrial heritage of the Lanarkshire region, an area historically defined by mineral extraction and processing activities.
The house remains a focal point within its rural setting, anchoring the local place names of the Woodhall area. Its survival and formal protection reflect the value placed upon understanding the settlement patterns and built heritage of central Scotland.
