Lochie is a post-medieval enclosure situated 350 metres south-east of Lochie in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument occupies land underlain by Silurian to Devonian extrusive rocks, bedrock composed of mafic lava and mafic tuff formed during the Devonian period. This volcanic geology is characteristic of the Midland Valley region.
The enclosure represents the agricultural and pastoral land management practices of the post-medieval period in rural Perthshire. Such enclosed fields became increasingly common following the reorganisation of Scottish lowland estates from the 17th century onwards, marking a transition from open runrig systems to defined, bounded land parcels. The enclosure's position on the rolling terrain of central Perthshire would have provided suitable grazing or arable ground for the local farming community.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland under the reference SM4088, recognising its significance to understanding the evolution of the Scottish landscape and rural settlement patterns. The site forms part of the wider pattern of post-medieval agricultural improvement visible across Perthshire's countryside.
