Huntly Farm enclosures, 300 metres east-south-east of the farm itself, is a post-medieval monument in Perthshire, Scotland. The enclosures occupy land underlain by Arbuthnott-Garvock Group bedrock, a Pragian-age formation of sandstone with subordinate conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone that characterises this part of the Midland Valley. This geology would have influenced both the physical character of the site and the farming practices of those who worked here.
The enclosures belong to the post-medieval period, when field systems were reorganised and formalised across rural Scotland. Positioned away from the principal farmstead, these field divisions likely served to contain livestock or demarcate arable land as farming intensified and consolidated across the estates of Perthshire. The separation of functional zones around the farm reflects the practical requirements of mixed agriculture in the early modern period.
The site is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM6559, recognising its archaeological significance within the broader landscape of early modern Scottish farming. The enclosures survive as earthworks visible within the modern landscape, preserving evidence of how communities organised and exploited this particular tract of Perthshire countryside.
