Pusk is a post-medieval enclosure situated approximately 300 metres south-south-east of Pusk in Fife, Scotland. The monument is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM6739. The enclosure occupies ground underlain by sandstone with subordinate conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone of the Arbuthnott-Garvock Group, rock formations dating to the Pragian period of the Early Devonian.
The enclosure represents a field boundary system typical of post-medieval agricultural organisation in Fife. Such enclosures were created to manage livestock and define ownership of cultivated land during the period following the medieval era, reflecting the intensification of farming practices and landscape management in this region of eastern Scotland.
The monument survives as earthwork evidence within the Fife landscape and contributes to understanding of early modern rural settlement and land use patterns in this locality. Its location on Devonian bedrock, characteristic of much of the Fife geology, reflects the long continuity of human settlement and land modification in this agriculturally productive area.
