King John's Palace is a scheduled ancient monument located in Nottinghamshire, comprising substantial remains of a royal residence associated with the medieval period. The site occupies a strategically important location and retains earthwork features indicative of Norman and medieval occupation, though much of the standing structure has been lost to time. The palace represents an important example of royal domestic architecture from the medieval period, reflecting the Crown's investment in administrative and residential centres outside of London. The surviving archaeological evidence contributes to understanding patterns of royal itineracy and the development of English royal properties during the mediaeval centuries.
