Easter Bleaton is a post-medieval depopulated settlement and associated field systems located in Perthshire, Scotland. The site represents the remains of an agricultural community that was abandoned during the post-medieval period, leaving behind earthwork evidence of both domestic occupation and the surrounding cultivated landscape. The field systems visible at the site demonstrate the organisation of land use characteristic of early modern rural settlement in central Scotland. Such depopulated settlements provide valuable archaeological evidence of changes in settlement patterns and land management practices during the transition from medieval to early modern Scotland.
