Cwrt y Gaer Ringwork is a medieval ringwork located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference MM067. The site comprises a circular or oval earthwork defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of ringwork fortifications constructed during the Norman period and subsequent medieval centuries. Such domestic ringworks served as strongholds for minor Norman lords and Welsh gentry, functioning as both defensive structures and symbols of territorial authority. The monument represents an important example of early medieval fortification in Wales, reflecting the pattern of Norman settlement and the militarised landscape of the medieval Welsh border region.
