Whittinghame Tower enclosure is a post-medieval earthwork situated approximately 250 metres south-west of Whittinghame Tower in East Lothian, Scotland. The site comprises an enclosed area dating to the post-medieval period, likely associated with agricultural or defensive land use practices of the sixteenth century onwards. The enclosure is defined by surviving earthwork boundaries that reflect the management and organisation of land around the tower during this later historical phase. The monument forms part of the wider landscape context of Whittinghame, contributing to understanding of settlement patterns and land division in lowland East Lothian during the early modern period.
