Overview

History & significance

Fletcherfield enclosure, located approximately 100 metres south-east of Fletcherfield in Angus, is a post-medieval enclosure that reflects the agricultural reorganisation and land management practices of early modern Scotland. The monument consists of an enclosed field or yard bounded by substantial earthwork features, typical of the period's approach to stock management and farming efficiency. Dating to the post-medieval period, the enclosure represents the practical application of improved agricultural methods that became increasingly prevalent in lowland and central Scottish estates from the sixteenth century onwards. Such enclosures are significant archaeological witnesses to the transition from medieval open-field systems to the more structured, controlled farming practices that characterised the early modern Scottish landscape.
