Howden Enclosure is a post-medieval field enclosure located in East Lothian, Scotland, and is recorded in the Historic Environment Scotland database under reference SM5752. The site represents the agricultural reorganisation of the Scottish landscape during the early modern period, when open-field systems were progressively replaced by enclosed, individually-managed plots. The enclosure's physical remains comprise linear boundaries, likely constructed from stone dykes or earthen banks typical of post-medieval agricultural improvements in the region. Dating to the early modern era, this monument reflects the transition in land management practices that characterised East Lothian during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.
