The land around seems to be too dry to be Scottish or British. Is it Spanish or Italian?

Here a clue about the people who built it ,
They have a specific dental anomaly,

dental polymorphism characterized by an exaggerated distobuccal rotation of the paracone in combination with the presence of a fossa at the intersection of the distal occlusal ridge and distal marginal ridge of upper first premolars

This trait shows up in ancient people of the region. And its distribution follows a major language family.

Hovenweep National Monument.


Noted for its solitude and undeveloped, natural character, Hovenweep National Monument is a group of five well-preserved village ruins over a 20-mile radius of mesa tops and canyons. The name Hovenweep is Paiute/Ute meaning "deserted valley." The area was once home to more than 2,500 people in 900 A.D. In 1923, Hovenweep was proclaimed by President Warren G. Harding a unit of the national park system. These ancient Pueblo Indian ruins include towers that remind visitors of European castles. Straddling the Utah-Colorado border, the ruins were built about the same time as medieval fortresses.
