Balbirnie Mill enclosure is a post-medieval field monument located approximately 300 metres east-northeast of Balbirnie Mill in Angus, Scotland. The enclosure dates to the post-medieval period and represents the agricultural reorganisation and land management practices characteristic of early modern rural Scotland. The site survives as an earthwork feature within the landscape, preserving evidence of the field systems and farming practices employed in the area during this era. Such enclosed fields reflect the gradual transition in Scottish agriculture during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, when traditional run-rig systems were progressively replaced by more consolidated and regularly bounded land parcels.
