Lochavich House enclosure is a post-medieval field boundary system located approximately 800 metres west-north-west of Lochavich House in Argyllshire, Scotland. The enclosure dates to the post-medieval period and represents the agricultural land management practices of early modern rural settlement in the Scottish Highlands. The site comprises field divisions constructed in response to the expansion of pastoral farming and the organisation of arable and grazing land during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Such enclosures are characteristic features of the post-medieval landscape in Argyllshire, reflecting patterns of land use and settlement development during a period of significant change in Highland agricultural practice.
