Knowes Enclosure is a post-medieval field enclosure located 450 metres east-south-east of Knowes in East Lothian, Scotland. The site represents the agricultural organisation and land management practices of the early modern period, when the Scottish lowlands underwent significant reorganisation of field systems and property boundaries. As a scheduled monument, it remains archaeologically significant as evidence of the transitional landscape between medieval open-field systems and the enclosed, hedged fields characteristic of later agricultural improvement. The enclosure's exact construction date within the post-medieval period and its original function require further archaeological investigation to establish with precision.
