Bonhard House enclosure is a post-medieval agricultural enclosure located in Linlithgowshire, approximately 500 metres south-southwest of Bonhard House itself. The monument occupies land underlain by bedrock of the Clackmannan Group, sedimentary rocks formed during the Westphalian period of the Carboniferous era, which provides a foundation of relatively compact stone typical of this region of central Scotland.
The enclosure represents the landscape management practices of the early modern farming economy in Linlithgowshire. Post-medieval enclosures of this type typically date between the 16th and 18th centuries and mark the period when landholders formalised field boundaries through stone walls or earthworks to define ownership and manage stock movements more intensively than their medieval predecessors.
The site is designated as a Scheduled Monument under the protection of Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM6485, recognising its importance as evidence of the agricultural and territorial history of the region. The survival of the enclosure's earthwork or stone boundaries in the landscape contributes to understanding the pattern of rural settlement and land use development across Linlithgowshire during the post-medieval period.
