Bourn Hall is a medieval fortification comprising a ringwork and bailey castle, situated in Cambridgeshire. The ringwork, a circular or oval earthwork enclosed by a bank and ditch, represents a common form of Norman or early medieval defensive settlement, likely dating from the 11th or 12th century. The site retains visible earthwork remains of both the ringwork and bailey elements. Formal garden features from the 17th century survive at the location, indicating later residential development and landscaping of the medieval fortification site.
