Standingstone, enclosure 1100m WSW of — is a post-medieval field enclosure in East Lothian, Scotland, now protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland. The monument sits on volcanic bedrock of Dinantian age, comprising felsic lava and felsic tuff deposited during the Mississippian period around 350 million years ago. This geology contributes to the rolling landscape characteristic of this part of East Lothian.
The enclosure represents a phase of agricultural reorganisation and land management typical of post-medieval Scotland, when fields and stock management areas were formalised with stone or turf boundaries. Such enclosures are commonplace across the Lowlands and Southern Uplands, reflecting the intensification of pastoral farming practices from the 16th century onwards.
Now scheduled under reference SM6050, Standingstone enclosure remains a tangible record of early modern rural life and land use in East Lothian. Its preservation contributes to understanding the pattern of agricultural settlement and field systems that developed across the region during the post-medieval period.
