Newbigging enclosure, located 400 metres north-east of Newbigging in Midlothian, Scotland, is a post-medieval field enclosure dating to the early modern period. The monument consists of a rectangular or irregular earthwork boundary, typical of agricultural reorganisation undertaken during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries when Scottish lowland farming practices underwent significant change. Such enclosures represent the gradual transition from open-field systems to enclosed, individuated holdings that characterised post-medieval rural development. The site is recorded within the Historic Environment Scotland national record and contributes to the archaeological understanding of land management practices in the Lothian region during this transformative period of Scottish agricultural history.
