Moyle Hill is a post-medieval enclosure located in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. The site comprises a field system characteristic of the early modern period, representing the agricultural reorganisation and land management practices of rural Galloway during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The enclosure's physical remains consist of banks and ditches defining arable or pastoral divisions across the landscape. Such enclosed fields represent a significant shift from earlier open field systems and reflect the economic development and proprietorial interests of post-medieval landowners in southwest Scotland.
