Castle Ring is a large univallate hillfort situated approximately 600 metres south-east of Meadowtown Farm in Shropshire, England. The monument comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing an interior area, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort design, and its substantial size indicates it served as a significant stronghold during the prehistoric period. The site's strategic location and physical scale suggest it functioned as a centre of importance for local communities, whether for settlement, defence, or seasonal gathering. Castle Ring remains an important example of Iron Age fortification in the West Midlands landscape.
