Circular enclosures centring 300 yards west of Wychnor Junction is a prehistoric monument located in Staffordshire. The site comprises circular earthwork enclosures whose morphology and distribution suggest Iron Age occupation or activity, a period during which such defensive or territorial structures were commonly constructed across the English Midlands. The precise chronology and functional purpose of these particular enclosures remain subjects of archaeological investigation, though their form is consistent with settlement patterns and land division practices characteristic of the late prehistoric period. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it a valuable record of prehistoric land use in the region.
