Fortingall pit-defined enclosure 110m S of Carn na Marbh is a Post-Medieval earthwork located near the settlement of Fortingall in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a pit-defined enclosure, a form of boundary demarcation created through the digging of linear pits rather than continuous ditches, a practice characteristic of Post-Medieval land management and territorial organisation in Highland Scotland. The site lies within the wider landscape context of Fortingall, an area of significant historical interest in Perthshire, and its pit-defined form provides evidence of early modern period land use and settlement patterns in the region. As documented in the Heritage Environment Record under reference HES INSPIRE SM8644, this enclosure contributes to understanding of Post-Medieval Highland settlement practices and landscape modification.
