Iron minepits in Tugmore Shaw is an ancient monument consisting of a series of shallow excavations and surface workings associated with iron ore extraction. Located in Sussex, the site represents evidence of iron mining activity, likely dating to the prehistoric or Romano-British period when iron working was an established economic activity in southern England. The physical remains comprise depressions and disturbed ground resulting from the extraction of iron-rich ore deposits from the shallow subsurface. Such minepits are characteristic of early iron extraction methods that exploited accessible ore sources before the development of deeper shaft mining techniques.
