Inchnadamph enclosure to the southwest of the parish church is a medieval defensive or domestic enclosure situated in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. The site comprises an earthwork boundary, likely dating to the medieval period, which would have served to define and protect a settlement or associated land use in this remote northern location. Such enclosures are characteristic of medieval settlement patterns in the Highlands, though the specific functions and chronology of this particular example remain subject to archaeological interpretation. The monument's survival as an earthwork feature preserves evidence of medieval land organisation and territorial control in Sutherland.
