Howbury ringwork and medieval trackway is a earthwork monument located in Bedfordshire that comprises a ringwork fortification alongside evidence of a medieval route-way. The ringwork itself is a circular or oval defensive enclosure formed by a substantial bank and ditch, a fortification type characteristic of the Norman period, typically dating to the eleventh or twelfth century. The associated trackway represents the medieval road network that would have connected settlements and served local traffic during the medieval period. Together, the two elements provide archaeological evidence of both defensive structures and the communication infrastructure of medieval Bedfordshire.
