Cheney Longville ringwork is a Norman fortification located in Shropshire, England. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular earthwork comprising a raised mound surrounded by a ditch, a defensive arrangement typical of early Norman castle construction in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Such ringworks served as modest fortified residences for minor Norman lords and functioned as administrative centres within the feudal landscape of post-Conquest England. The site represents the widespread adoption of motte-and-bailey and ringwork castle forms across the English midlands during the Norman period.
