Overview

History & significance

Home Farm enclosure, situated 400 metres east of Home Farm in Angus, is a post-medieval field enclosure protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland. The enclosure lies upon bedrock of the Arbuthnott-Garvock Group, Pragian in age, comprising predominantly sandstone with subordinate layers of conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone. This geology shaped both the local building stone and the agricultural character of the surrounding landscape.

The enclosure represents the reorganisation of agricultural land during the post-medieval period, when Scottish farming became increasingly formalised through the division of open fields and common pasture into bounded, individually managed units. Such enclosures are a common feature of the rural archaeology of Angus and reflect changing patterns of land tenure and cultivation practices in the early modern period.

The monument's scheduled status recognises its significance in understanding the agricultural development and land use of the locality. The site survives as an earthwork feature within the modern landscape, preserving evidence of farming practices and settlement patterns from a formative period in Scottish agricultural history.
