Myrehead enclosure, located 750 metres north-east of Myrehead in Stirlingshire, is a post-medieval enclosure of uncertain specific date within the early modern period. The site comprises an enclosed area defined by earthwork boundaries, characteristic of the field systems and land management practices undertaken during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries in central Scotland. Such enclosures represent the gradual reorganisation of the Scottish landscape as landholders sought to improve agricultural productivity and assert territorial control over their properties. The monument's survival as an earthwork feature contributes to understanding patterns of rural settlement and land use in Stirlingshire during the post-medieval era.
