Layered strata are a characteristic feature of sedimentary rocks. Extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are not likely to have visible layering, and shield volcanoes are formed from basaltic lava flows rather than layered strata. Batholiths and laccoliths are intrusive igneous rocks, but they are not necessarily layered like sediments.
