Overview

History & significance

Fuffet Wood Enclosure is a Post-Medieval field system located approximately 100 metres east of Fuffet Wood in Midlothian, Scotland. The site is defined by cropmarks and earthwork remains indicative of organised agricultural land division dating to the Post-Medieval period. Such enclosed field systems represent the rationalisation of rural land management during early modern times, reflecting changing approaches to farming practice and land tenure in the Scottish Borders region. The enclosure's survival as both visible cropmark evidence and ground features provides archaeological testimony to the development of the Scottish landscape during this transitional phase between medieval and modern agricultural organisation.
