Barney Hill is a post-medieval enclosure located in East Lothian, Scotland. The site represents agricultural land management practices of the early modern period, when Scottish landowners increasingly formalised field boundaries and cultivation patterns. The enclosure consists of earthwork remains that demarcate historical field divisions, reflecting the broader reorganisation of the Scottish landscape during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Such enclosures are significant archaeological evidence for understanding rural economy, land tenure, and the transition from medieval to modern agricultural systems in lowland Scotland.
