Kelly Bridge is a post-medieval palisaded enclosure located approximately 250 metres south-southeast of Kelly Bridge in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a defensive or stock-management structure constructed from timber palisading, characteristic of the early modern period when such enclosures served practical functions in rural settlement and land management. The site's specific dating and construction details remain recorded within the Scottish heritage record under INSPIRE reference SM6544, though the palisaded form suggests construction likely within the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries when such timber-built fortifications were employed across Perthshire. The enclosure represents evidence of post-medieval land use and settlement patterns in this region of central Scotland.
