Prehistoric sites in the Scottish Borders

Edin's Hall is an impressive prehistoric site comprising a defended settlement with a large circular broch, within a series of earthwork ramparts and ditches. There has been no proper excavation of Edin's Hall, so we don't know for certain just how old the remains are. It is possible that the broch was built within a much earlier enclosure, possibly after the settlement had ceased to be occupied.
