Enclosed Iron Age farmstead 700m west of Horderley Farm is an archaeological site in Shropshire dating to the Iron Age. The monument consists of a rectilinear enclosure, typical of farming settlements of this period in the English Midlands, which would have functioned as a defensive or stock-containing structure around domestic and agricultural buildings. Such enclosed farmsteads represent a significant settlement form in Iron Age Britain, reflecting organised land use and community structure during the pre-Roman period. The site's preservation as an earthwork makes it an important resource for understanding Iron Age settlement patterns and subsistence strategies in the region.
