Roscobie enclosures, located 780 metres north-west of Roscobie in Fife, Scotland, are a post-medieval field system comprising earthwork enclosures dating to the early modern period. The site represents typical agricultural land organisation of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, when Scottish farmland was increasingly divided and managed through formal enclosure practices. The earthworks survive as visible field boundaries and define compartments that would have served pastoral or arable functions within the local agrarian economy. This monument type is characteristic of the intensification and reorganisation of rural space that occurred across lowland Scotland during the post-medieval period.
