Civil War sconce 650m north west of Devon Bridge is a fortified earthwork dating from the English Civil War period of the seventeenth century. The monument consists of defensive fortifications characteristic of the temporary military structures constructed during the conflict, when competing Parliamentary and Royalist forces established positions across the English landscape. Located in Nottinghamshire, which saw considerable military activity during the Civil Wars, the sconce represents the archaeological evidence of the period's strategic deployment and territorial control. The earthwork survives as an upstanding monument and remains significant as a physical record of the civil conflict and military engineering practices of the 1640s.
