Bankfoot is a post-medieval settlement comprising three enclosures located in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The site consists of rectangular or sub-rectangular field systems that reflect the agricultural organisation of the early modern period, typical of the upland pastoral economy of the Scottish Borders during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The enclosures represent a phase of organised land division that preceded more intensive agricultural improvement schemes of the later eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The site's designation and location within Dumfriesshire indicate its significance as evidence of post-medieval settlement patterns and land use practices in the region during a period of social and economic transition.
