Meadowfield enclosure is a post-medieval field boundary system located approximately 400 metres east-north-east of Meadowfield in Nairnshire, Scotland. The enclosure represents the agricultural reorganisation characteristic of the early modern period, when Scottish lowland and marginal upland areas underwent systematic field division and improved land management practices. The site survives as a visible landscape feature, preserving evidence of the field systems and pastoral or arable economy of the post-medieval era. Such enclosures form part of the broader historical record of land use changes in the North of Scotland during the sixteenth century onwards.
