Overview

History & significance

Huntly Burn enclosure is a Post-Medieval field enclosure situated in Selkirkshire, Scotland. The site consists of earthwork remains that reflect the agricultural reorganisation and land management practices characteristic of the Post-Medieval period in the Scottish Borders. Such enclosures represent the consolidation and formalisation of field systems as landowners moved away from the open field practices of earlier periods towards more organised pastoral and arable farming. The enclosure's earthwork boundaries, visible in the landscape, provide evidence of the settlement patterns and land use history of the region during this transformative period in Scottish rural development.
