Farraline enclosure, located 780 metres north-east of Farraline in Inverness-shire, is a post-medieval enclosure of uncertain date within the early modern period. The monument consists of a defined enclosed area bounded by banks and ditches, characteristic of agricultural or settlement-related land management during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Such enclosures in the Scottish Highlands typically represent attempts at field organisation and stock management during a period of significant change in rural land use. The site's specific historical context and functions remain imperfectly understood without further archaeological investigation or documentary evidence linking it to particular landholders or agricultural practices.
