Thurston Mains enclosure is a post-medieval field boundary feature located approximately 600 metres west-north-west of Thurston Mains in East Lothian, Scotland. The enclosure represents agricultural land management practices characteristic of the early modern period, when systematic field division and stock control became increasingly important to Scottish farming communities. The site survives as an earthwork or landscape feature typical of post-medieval rural settlement patterns in the lowland regions of southeastern Scotland. Its precise dating and functional purpose within the broader context of Thurston Mains estate organisation would have reflected contemporary agricultural methods and land tenure arrangements of the period.
