Overview
Moorside is the exact Historic Environment Scotland record for a named whole enclosed settlement in Scottish Borders. The supporting saved type component is Enclosed Settlement (later Prehistoric). The source gives its period wording as later Prehistoric. The saved record identifies the place without supplying safe names for its owners or residents.
Who lived here and when
The official record identifies Moorside with the exact type wording Enclosed Settlement (later Prehistoric). The source gives its period wording as later Prehistoric. It does not safely name particular residents, families or landholders.
Homes and daily life
The exact type shows that this was an inhabited place rather than an isolated field or wall. The saved row does not describe individual homes, possessions, work or daily routines at Moorside.
What was found
This record preserves the name, classification and mapped point of Moorside. It does not safely list excavated objects or building finds, so none are added here.
Why it ended
The saved record does not explain whether Moorside was abandoned, cleared, rebuilt or gradually fell out of use. The word deserted is used only when it appears in the exact official type.
Why it mattered
Moorside matters because it fixes a named inhabited place in the landscape of Scottish Borders. Its exact subject and period help show where communities lived, while the individual source record gives later local research a firm starting point.
