The Civil War redoubt located approximately 550 metres south-east of Valley Farm is a seventeenth-century fortification constructed during the English Civil War. The monument represents the military engineering of the 1640s, when such earthwork defences were hastily built across England to serve strategic purposes in the conflict between Parliament and Royalist forces. The redoubt survives as an earthwork monument, preserving evidence of Civil War period military installation and the fortification strategies employed in Nottinghamshire during this turbulent period.
