Civil War redoubt 150m east of Tissington Hall is a seventeenth-century military earthwork constructed during the English Civil War. The monument consists of an irregular defensive fortification, likely built to protect or control the strategic approach to Tissington Hall, a significant gentry residence in Derbyshire. Such redoubts were characteristic field fortifications hastily constructed during the conflict to provide tactical advantage in the absence of permanent fortifications. The earthwork survives as an archaeological monument preserving evidence of the military operations conducted in the English Midlands during the 1640s.
