This monument is a prehistoric defended enclosure situated near Claughton Hall in Lancashire. The site comprises a univallate enclosure, a defensive earthwork defined by a single bank and ditch system, along with associated features including a hollow way and a secondary enclosure. The hollow way, a sunken trackway created through repeated use, indicates sustained activity and movement across the landscape in antiquity. The monument's univallate construction and spatial arrangement suggest Iron Age or Bronze Age date, though the site remains an important record of prehistoric settlement and territorial organisation in the Lancashire landscape.
