Sled Hill enclosure is a post-medieval field enclosure located in East Lothian, Scotland. The site represents the agricultural landscape development characteristic of the early modern period, when systematic field division and improved farming practices became increasingly common across lowland Scotland. The enclosure's physical remains reflect the typical linear boundary construction methods employed during this era, comprising ditch and bank systems or stone dykes that served to define and control land use. This monument contributes to understanding the evolution of East Lothian's rural economy during the post-medieval period, when the region's agricultural potential was increasingly exploited through formal field organisation.
