Skirling Mains enclosure, 320 metres west-south-west of Skirling Mains, is a post-medieval agricultural enclosure located in Peeblesshire, Scotland. The monument represents the field systems and pastoral management practices characteristic of rural Scotland during the post-medieval period, when improved agricultural methods and land division became increasingly common across lowland and valley floor areas. The enclosure survives as earthwork remains that reflect the reorganisation of open lands into defined parcels for more intensive farming and stock management. Such monuments are valuable evidence for understanding the evolution of the Scottish agricultural landscape and the practical implementation of land improvement initiatives during this era of rural development.
