Medieval city wall is a scheduled ancient monument in Nottinghamshire, England, forming part of the defensive fortifications constructed around Nottingham during the medieval period. The surviving sections of the wall date primarily from the 12th and 13th centuries, when Nottingham developed as a significant urban centre under royal patronage. The wall originally enclosed the castle precinct and the expanding town, constructed from stone and designed to protect the settlement from external threats. Remnants of the medieval defensive circuit remain visible within the modern streetscape of Nottingham, providing archaeological evidence of the town's medieval urban layout and defensive engineering.
