Civil War defences 270m and 300m west of Vale Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising earthwork fortifications constructed during the English Civil War. The defences consist of linear banks and ditches characteristic of the hastily erected field works that protected strategic positions during the conflict of the 1640s. Located in Nottinghamshire, a county of considerable military importance during the war, these earthworks represent the physical evidence of the period's military engineering and territorial control. The monument survives as an archaeological resource documenting the landscape of civil conflict in the mid-seventeenth century.
