Congalton Mains Enclosure is a post-medieval agricultural feature located southeast of Congalton in East Lothian, Scotland. The site consists of an enclosure defined by a ring ditch, typical of early modern farming practices in the region. The ring ditch represents a form of land demarcation and possibly drainage management associated with intensive agriculture during the post-medieval period. This archaeological feature is characteristic of the reorganisation of the Scottish lowland landscape during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, when field systems were increasingly formalised and enclosed.
