Niddry Farm Enclosure is a post-medieval field enclosure situated to the south-west of Niddry Farm in Linlithgowshire, Scotland. The monument consists of the surviving earthwork remains of an enclosed field or paddock, characteristic of the agricultural reorganisation that occurred across Lowland Scotland during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The enclosure demonstrates the gradual transition from medieval open field systems to the more formally defined field boundaries that became standard practice during the early modern period. Such enclosures were typically created to improve livestock management and facilitate more efficient agricultural practices on individual holdings.
