Civil War defences 270m and 300m west of Vale Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising earthwork fortifications dating to the English Civil War period of the seventeenth century. The site consists of linear defensive works constructed to protect strategic positions in Nottinghamshire during the conflict between Royalist and Parliamentarian forces. These earthworks represent the material evidence of temporary military engineering undertaken during the 1640s, when such field fortifications were rapidly constructed across England to control territory and communications. The surviving banks and ditches retain sufficient archaeological integrity to contribute to understanding of Civil War military strategy and defensive practices in the Midlands region.
