Eastfield Enclosures and Pit Alignments at Old Craighall is a Post-Medieval archaeological site in Midlothian, Scotland. The site comprises field boundaries and pit alignments that represent agricultural land organisation from the post-medieval period, reflecting the farming practices and land management systems of early modern rural Scotland. The enclosures define discrete field parcels whilst the pit alignments, consisting of regularly spaced pits, may have served functional purposes related to field delineation or drainage. The site contributes to understanding the development of the agrarian landscape in the Lothians during this period of agricultural intensification.
