Rectilinear enclosure 80m SW of Kilronan is a prehistoric or protohistoric monument located in Midlothian, Scotland. The enclosure is defined by rectilinear earthwork boundaries, a layout characteristic of settlement or ritual sites dating to the Iron Age or Romano-British period, though precise chronological attribution requires archaeological investigation. The monument survives as cropmark or earthwork evidence within the landscape, preserving evidence of past land use and settlement patterns in the region. Such rectilinear enclosures represent important archaeological records of ancient occupation and land organisation in lowland Scotland.
