Myreside is a post-medieval enclosure located in Fife, Scotland, situated some 100 metres south of Myreside itself. The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland under designation SM6646.
The enclosure sits upon bedrock of the Stratheden Group, a formation of sandstone and conglomerate deposited during the Late Devonian period. These interbedded stones would have provided ready material for building and boundary construction in the post-medieval era, contributing to the practical character of settlement and land management in this part of Fife.
Post-medieval enclosures of this type typically served as field systems or livestock enclosures associated with agricultural improvement and reorganisation of the landscape during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The positioning of this enclosure within the wider Myreside locality reflects the pattern of land use and settlement development characteristic of rural Fife during this period.
