Mow Law is a post-medieval enclosure and field system located northeast of Mowhaugh in Roxburghshire, Scotland. The site represents the agricultural organisation and land management practices of the early modern period, when systematic field divisions and stone or turf boundaries were established to define individual holdings and improve productivity. The enclosures comprise a series of linear boundaries and subdivided plots characteristic of the intensification of farming during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries in the Scottish Borders region. This field system demonstrates the evolution of rural settlement patterns and agricultural practice following the medieval period in the Scottish Lowlands.
