Midtown Field system and clearance cairns is a post-medieval agricultural landscape situated approximately 950 metres east of Midtown in Kincardineshire, Scotland. The site comprises field boundaries and cairns of stone clearance, features typical of the post-medieval period when marginal land in northeast Scotland was brought into cultivation or more intensively managed.

This landscape reflects the agricultural practices and land use patterns of rural Kincardineshire in the centuries following the medieval period.
