Medieval ringwork in Burgate Wood is a fortificatory earthwork located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a circular or oval banked enclosure typical of ringwork construction, a common defensive form in medieval England particularly during the 11th and 12th centuries. Such ringworks served as fortified residences or manorial strongholds, offering modest but effective protection for their occupants and their possessions. The survival of the earthwork in woodland setting has aided preservation of its archaeological remains, making it a significant example of small-scale medieval military architecture.
