Shaw is a post-medieval rectangular enclosure located approximately 800 metres north-north-west of Coates, on the bank of Coates Burn in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular earthwork that reflects the agricultural and settlement patterns of the post-medieval period in the Scottish Borders. Its position on the burn indicates a deliberate choice of site related to water access, typical of enclosures from this era.
