Newlands Enclosure is a post-medieval field boundary system located approximately 500 metres south of Newlands in East Lothian, Scotland. The enclosure dates from the post-medieval period and represents the agricultural reorganisation and land division practices characteristic of early modern Scottish rural settlement. The site survives as earthwork remains that demarcate former field divisions and land use patterns. Such enclosures reflect the gradual transition from open field systems to consolidated, privately managed agricultural holdings that occurred across Lowland Scotland during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.
