Camp S of Old Hall Sarn is a medieval ringwork located in Monmouthshire, Wales. The site comprises a circular or oval earthwork with an enclosing bank and ditch, characteristic of twelfth-century fortified settlements in the Welsh Marches. Such ringworks typically served as modest defensive structures and administrative centres for Norman or Anglo-Norman settlers during the period of frontier consolidation following the Norman conquest of South Wales. The specific dating and archaeological context of Camp S remain subjects of ongoing study within the corpus of Marcher lordship fortifications.
