Monument record TQ 77 SE 181 - A Late Bronze Age enclosure, north of Rough Shaw
Summary
A Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age enclosure c.98m across with segmented ditches, a posthole/pit alignment 16m long within the enclosure from an entrance, a hearth and a number of posthole/pit groups within and outside of the enclosure. The enclosure evidently went out of use in the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age as field ditches cut across features related to it and a large quarry of a subsequent phase cut the enclosure ditch.
