The enclosure dates from the post-medieval period, reflecting the agricultural and land management practices of early modern Scotland when such field boundaries and stock containment structures became increasingly formalised across rural estates.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland under the scheduled monument reference SM6807, ensuring its preservation as part of the national heritage record.
