The Enclosed Iron Age farmstead on Wilderley Hill, located 470 metres north west of Sallins Cottage in Shropshire, is a defended settlement dating to the Iron Age period. The site comprises an enclosure defined by substantial earthwork banks and ditches that would have served both defensive and stock-management functions typical of Iron Age rural settlements. Its physical character reflects the agricultural economy and social organisation of Iron Age communities in the West Midlands, with the enclosed layout providing protection for dwellings and livestock. The monument remains a significant example of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region, preserving evidence of pre-Roman agricultural life and land use in Shropshire.
