Cross dyke and hut platform on the summit of The Lawley is a Bronze Age or Iron Age defensive earthwork located on high ground in Shropshire. The monument comprises a linear defensive dyke associated with a contemporary hut platform, situated on the summit of The Lawley approximately 100 metres south-west of the trigonometric pillar. The cross dyke represents a form of fortification common to prehistoric hillforts and upland settlements, functioning to control access across the summit ridge. The hut platform indicates domestic occupation and suggests this was a significant settlement site during the prehistoric period, though the precise chronology remains subject to archaeological interpretation.
