Iron minepits in Tugmore Shaw is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a series of extraction pits associated with iron ore working. Located in Sussex, the site represents evidence of medieval or post-medieval iron mining activity, periods during which the Weald was a significant centre of iron production in England. The pits themselves are visible as surface depressions in the landscape, the physical remains of ore extraction operations. The monument contributes to understanding the industrial archaeology and resource exploitation of the region during its period of active iron working.
