Hole Farm Roman farmstead (Wark)
These are the remains of a Roman period settlement on top of an east-west ridge above the Warks Burn. The farmstead was rectangular in shape and surrounded by a bank and ditch. There is an entrance in the east side, which is carried across the ditch on a raised causeway. Within the enclosure are the remains of two sunken yards placed either side of the causeway. This is a Scheduled Monument protected by law.
