Blackhouse Burn enclosures is a post-medieval field system located in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site comprises a series of stone-built enclosures that reflect agricultural land use practices of the post-medieval period, when improved farming methods and field organisation became increasingly common across lowland Scotland. The enclosures demonstrate the typical arrangement of pastoral and arable land management characteristic of the era, with stone boundaries marking distinct parcels of land. This site contributes to the archaeological understanding of rural settlement patterns and land use transformation in the central lowlands during the post-medieval centuries.
