Moss of Achnacree, enclosure 455m north-west of Murdostoun is a post-medieval field enclosure located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site comprises earthwork remains characteristic of early modern agricultural land management in the Scottish Highlands, reflecting the progressive reorganisation of pastoral and arable land during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The enclosure's physical form survives as an irregular boundary defined by bank and ditch features typical of the period. Its location within the broader landscape of Murdostoun indicates participation in the gradual processes of land consolidation and improved husbandry practices that distinguished post-medieval agricultural development in Argyllshire.
