Drumtogle enclosure is a post-medieval earthwork situated 300 metres south-east of Drumtogle in Perthshire. The monument comprises an enclosure defined by banks and ditches, typical of agricultural or pastoral land management practices during the early modern period. Its construction reflects the development of more formalized field systems and stock management in the Scottish Lowlands during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.
The enclosure sits upon bedrock of the Arbuttnott-Garvock Group, a geological formation of Pragian age composed primarily of sandstone with subordinate deposits of conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone. This foundation provided material suitable for construction and defined the underlying landscape character that would have influenced settlement patterns and land use in the area.
The monument is protected under Historic Environment Scotland designation SM8029, recognising its significance for understanding post-medieval rural organization and land management practices in Perthshire. The enclosure represents a period of increasing agricultural development when landowners and tenants invested in permanent boundary systems to regulate livestock movement and protect cropped areas. Such earthworks survive across the Scottish landscape as evidence of the transition from medieval to early modern farming practices.
