Ludgershall Castle is a medieval ringwork and castle situated in Ludgershall, Wiltshire, England. The site comprises a substantial earthwork with an inner ringwork, characteristic of Norman fortifications of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and represents an important example of early medieval military architecture in the region. The castle served as a royal stronghold and administrative centre, with evidence of occupation extending through the medieval period. The surviving earthworks preserve the defensive structure of the ringwork, though much of the original stone superstructure has been lost, leaving the monument primarily as an archaeological landscape that continues to yield information about medieval fortification design and settlement patterns.
