Tulloch of Pitnacree is a post-medieval enclosure situated in Perthshire, some 150 metres north-west of Pitnacree. The monument lies on bedrock of the Southern Highland Group, a geological formation of Middle Cambrian age comprising psammite and pelite—metamorphosed sandstone and mudstone—which characterises much of the upland terrain in this region of central Scotland. The enclosure represents a field system or stock enclosure typical of the early modern agricultural landscape, when the organisation and partition of land became increasingly formalised across rural Perthshire.
The precise form and surviving features of the enclosure reflect the construction methods of the post-medieval period, when dry stone or turf-built boundaries were commonly employed to define land parcels and manage livestock. The local geology of psammite and pelite would have provided suitable stone for such construction, readily available from the natural bedrock and surface stones across the site.
Tulloch of Pitnacree is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM9528, recognising its importance to the understanding of rural settlement and land use patterns in Perthshire during the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries.
