Tatham Park is a prehistoric defended enclosure situated in Lancashire, England, that dates to the Bronze Age period. The monument comprises a substantial earthwork enclosure accompanied by six hut circles positioned in close proximity to the defensive structure, indicating a settled community organisation typical of Bronze Age settlement patterns.
