Overview

History & significance

Greshop Farm enclosures are a post-medieval field system located approximately three to four hundred metres south-west of Greshop Farm in Morayshire, Scotland. The enclosures represent agricultural land division and management practices typical of the early modern period in north-east Scotland, reflecting the reorganisation of rural land use that characterised post-medieval farming communities. The site is designated within the Historic Environment Scotland record and survives as earthwork evidence of field boundaries and enclosed plots, though detailed documentary records specific to these enclosures remain limited in published scholarly sources. Such field systems provide valuable archaeological insight into the layout and organisation of early modern agricultural settlement in the Moray region.
