Enclosures, barrows and pits 360m north of 8 Glebe Park is a complex of prehistoric earthworks located in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a series of burial mounds and associated pit features set upon bedrock of the Stratheden Group, a formation of interbedded sandstone and conglomerate dating to the Late Devonian period. This geology would have provided a naturally firm foundation for the construction and use of the site across successive prehistoric periods.
The enclosure structures, barrows and pit complexes suggest sustained activity at this location, possibly spanning several centuries of prehistory. The barrows indicate use for burial purposes, whilst the associated pits may reflect contemporary settlement activity, ritual practice, or resource extraction. The grouping of these features together suggests this was a significant focal point in the prehistoric landscape of Perthshire.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM7203, recognising its archaeological importance and the evidence it preserves of early human activity in the region. The survival of these earthworks provides valuable information about prehistoric settlement patterns and burial practices in central Scotland.
