Jordan Castle is a ringwork castle situated in Nottinghamshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial circular or oval earthwork surrounded by a ditch, characteristic of the ringwork form that became prevalent in England during the 11th and 12th centuries. The site encompasses additional archaeological features including possible enclosures, a pond, and ridge and furrow cultivation patterns that indicate medieval land use around the fortification. The combination of defensive earthworks with contemporary agricultural evidence provides insight into the settlement hierarchy and economic organisation of medieval Nottinghamshire.
