Overview

History & significance

Glenton Hill is a post-medieval house, enclosure and field system located in Kincardineshire, Scotland. The site comprises a domestic structure dating to the post-medieval period, together with associated agricultural land divisions and boundary features typical of early modern Scottish rural settlement. The combination of house, enclosure and field system reflects the organisation of a small agricultural holding during this era, when such integrated farmsteads formed the basic units of rural land use and subsistence economy. The remains contribute to understanding the pattern of post-medieval settlement and land management practices in the Mearns region of Kincardineshire.
